"Didn't see anything we couldn't correct." Terry didn't reply. Partly because he was startled to hear from Rick at 3:00 a.m. And partly because he was groggy from sleep. "Thought we'd work on it in person." "Oh?" Terry managed. "You coming down here?" "No. You're coming up here." Again, Terry didn't answer. The late hour certainly had something to do with it. But of greater consequence, he hadn't a clue what Rick was talking about. A player didn't just up and travel during the season to work with a former pitching coach now with another organization...Unless... "You've been traded," Rick said, providing the missing link that was just entering Terry's mind. "You fly out later this morning." "To your Triple A?" Terry mumbled. "No. Here. To Oakland." "To Oakland?" "Right. Your flight's already booked." "You mean I'm in the show?" Terry said, still groggy and not convinced the entire conversation was no more than a dream.
