At this point, that makes sense. If they can't get the other player in to town before the game, then they at least have Jones available tonight. Hopefully a deal gets done in the morning. Thats a good point Let's just say that a deal has been agreed upon (or very close to) but the players involved wont be able to get to the park in time for the game today. So the teams dont announce the deal, that way the players are still available for their current teams. Buuut I'm just grasping for straws right now. Yes, yes you are. Aren't we all, though. If there is a trade in the near future, it'll be a dumping of Jones at best. Yes, and I can't wait.
