Ken Rosenthal tweeted that any deal involving Wandy Rodriguez could hinge on the outcome of the Crane vote. Rosenthal says that Crane is willing to move him (of course - he makes too much money), and McLane leans more towards keeping him.
This may be a referendum on Ed Wade's tenure. It has been long-discussed about how ridiculous it was to extend Wandy in the first place. If Crane's first official act as owner is to approve the trade of a player that his GM extended 11 months earlier, that probably doesn't bode so well for Easy Eddie.
