07:07 AM ET 06.24 | Luis Ayala wanted so badly to be the chief setup man for closer Joe Nathan, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Tuesday, that he asked to be traded once it became apparent that he couldn't have that role. But the detail that might have cinched Ayala's departure from Minnesota was his admitted motivation for wanting the job: a better contract next year.

"his admitted motivation for wanting the job: a better contract next year."
Yeah, everyone's gonna pay big bucks for a late inning reliever with a 4.18 ERA. And it's not just one bad outing which bloated his ERA, every other time out he allows one or two ER's.
