Intrigue Builds As Carolina GM Jim Rutherford Places Doubt In Ian White Trade Rumors
Stringing together a few tweets from Chip Alexander of the News & Observer, quoting Rutherford:
We had an offer and decided to pull (White) back for a day or two and put [Brett] Carson in the lineup. We have something to consider but that doesn’t mean it will go one way or the other. He could be back in the lineup this week. There are teams out there looking at different things and we have something to consider.
