Removal of information[edit]

The paragraph about the trade is not in fact trivial. It outlines the developments in the trade from the two day period he was traded. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 06:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's trivial and meaningless. The details mean nothing in the big picture. Nothing special happened along the way. A trade was agreed upon, and it was finalized 2 days later... these details are important how? That's how every trade goes. Blahblah32blahblah (talk) 17:21, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is the trade. In Major League Baseball, that is how trades happen. Saying one part is trivial is saying the entire trade is trivial. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 21:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it relieves any confusion on the "official date" of the trade rather than the original agreement date. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 21:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow... your interpretation of relevant information is in serious need of review..... And you need to watch out because you don't own all articles related to the Seattle Mariners... Blahblah32blahblah (talk) 04:39, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to respond to that. You just know that it's true, in Major League Baseball trades can take days or even weeks, that's the trade and it will also clear up confusion about official trade announcements. It's sad you had to resort to a cheap shot. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 05:14, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know how trades work - nothing significant happened during that time.... there is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to detail it. IT means nothing in the big picture. In fact this whole discussion is ridiculous. I give up. Blahblah32blahblah (talk) 05:16, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You should calm down. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 05:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Blahblah32blahblah, I'm not sure what the issue is with the content which you removed earlier. You're not making much of a case here, and I for one support User:Halvorsen brian revert of your removal.
