Maybe, if they could get value...no real traction though. But Michael got righteously PO'd & disrespected about Beltre coming in to play 3B and him being expected to be a DH/Super-Utility infielder, allegedly demanding a trade, to which the org said, no, we need you, really, we do.
And so they have. During the Cruz/Hamilton absence, it was pretty much Micheal Young and Adrian Beltre carrying the team. Now, with AB out for what's probably going to total 6 weeks (OUCH), Micheal's the everyday 3B. Beltre he's not, not with the glove, but the neat thing to watch is how the two have become good friends and teammates. Young now will readily admit that Beltre is a significant defensive upgrade and an invaluable addition to the offense. It's also easy to see that the plan to use him as a Super Utility infielder, has worked out well, with him giving everybody the chance to take a break every now and then. Also not hard to see that having him as DH has very much agreed with him offensively as well.
In the end, professionalism came to respect professionalism, skill came to admire skill, serious player embraced serious player, and Michael Young's reputation as The Face Of The Franchise remains not only intact, but enhanced, all of it pretty much honestly so.
