Have to play out more of the season as the deadline approaches to see if he has interest elsewhere. Otherwise I'll need to figure him into my plans for a couple of seasons.

i have trading set on hard and maybe it was because he was actually playing well for me in my save, but i was able to shop him and get offers straight up for him. i didnt take them though, like i said.
in ootp 18, i was able to move him for denard span's contract while retaining some salary, that doesn't help much for 19 but thats a trade i remember doing. i wish i could remember who i got offered for in 19, and i cant go back and look because i never made the trade,
in terms of ellsbury IRL, i think this is going to be his last season as a yankee and that he wont make an appearance for the yankees until september of this season when rosters expand as they dont want to waste a roster spot on him right now. which is a shame, i like ellsbury, he's a decent player, just horribly overpaid
