So that's how you get into a New York newspaper.
Drayton, in an e-mail response:
"In regards to your question about Roy Oswalt, there has absolutely been zero discussion about him being traded. Roy is one of the cornerstones of our team and the personal relationship that we share is important to me as well. That is why he has a long-term contract with a no trade agreement. I am not sure where this rumor began, but it was untrue. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to make this clear."
Davidoff:
Throw in the fact that the Astros have won four in a row, and it sure looks like Oswalt, despite whatever unhappiness he might have (and there's clearly something going on in that regard), is staying put.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
