Why Is This Guy Pissed?
Brandon Inge is pissed because of this guy…
Read what Inge says:
Inge asked the Tigers to trade him after they made the deal at the winter meetings nearly two months ago, but Detroit hasn’t accommodated him.
“They’re still trying to trade me, but I need to get ready for the possibility that I’m going to spring training with the Tigers,” Inge said Monday, speaking for the first time since the trade. “People have said or written, ‘Take your $6 million and be happy sitting on the bench.’ But money doesn’t make me happy — playing baseball does.”
Inge agreed to a $24 million, four-year contract last winter. After talking to team president Dave Dombrowski on Monday, Inge said he is ready to move on and begrudgingly accept his role as a utility player.
“The only reason I’m bitter, mad and frustrated is that I’m probably not going to play as much as I have in the past,” he said.
Inge played 469 games at third base the past three seasons. The 30-year-old Inge plans to work out with Detroit’s pitchers and catchers beginning Feb. 15 in Lakeland, Fla., where he will get reacquainted with catching, a position he played for 104 games during the 2003 season.
It sucks, but Detroit had to do what they had to do…
