“These other guys want to win just as badly as Todd does. For sure, we are going to miss him, but the world is going to keep spinning, and we have to keep moving on to the next thing.”
Dave Jarrett
“Todd is a great guy. He stood behind me, gave me enough incentive to remain in the sport.”
Pavle Jovanovic
“Our closer (Todd Jones) is gone. Our setup guy (Fernando Rodney) is gone. Four regulars are out. Two other regulars are hurt. I'm just going to look at the bright side and take a look at our kids.”
Jim Leyland
“We know what Todd can do and we want to look at the guys we have here. We told Todd it is not necessary for him to come to camp.”
Marty Hurney
“Todd is known as a very good guy in the locker room and is well known for working with younger players. He has a chance to become one of the veteran leaders of this team and we're going to give him that opportunity.”
Rick Dudley
