Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda looks to be a target of a number of teams this trade deadline, but with a no-trade clause, Kuroda holds the keys to where he may go.
According to ESPN.com on Monday, Kuroda would consider accepting a trade to either the Yankees or the Red Sox, debunking the idea that Kuroda only wants to stay in Los Angeles.
According to the pitcher, however, those are false rumors.
"I never mentioned those teams," Kuroda told the Press-Enterprise through a translator, when asked about the ESPN.com story. "I never talked about those things … I haven't thought about going anywhere."
Although Kuroda is tied for the most losses in the National League with 12, his 3.19 ERA speaks more to how he's been pitching, as he's received less than three runs per game from the Dodgers offense.
