Felix isn't going to ask to be traded and that should have been made clear when he agreed to stay here for the next 7 years. Losses like this on days that he pitches aren't new and neither are the losses where he pitches his butt off and the offense doesn't score enough for him to win. I'm sure he's frustrated as hell about the losses (even though he didn't personally take the loss in this game or in other games like this one), but if he was frustrated enough with them to ask to be traded, that would have happened well before he signed his extension. Hell... these kinds of losses happened often enough before he signed his first big extension with the team in 2010 that he could have decided to bolt then too. Again, this is not a new problem. So either he really, really loves it in Seattle and really believes that things are headed in the right direction or he's a masochist.

Either way, it makes no sense for him to agree to stay here for as long as he has insisting that he wasn't going anywhere that whole time, despite the horrible support he's received both from the offense and/or the bullpen in so many of his starts, only to ask to be traded for that reason not even a year after signing a long-term extension with the team. He's not going anywhere. He's had multiple chances to and didn't take them. He's not gonna bail now.

Figures,

Offense not supporting him against a pitcher with a 6 ERA, no defense behind him. Its sad to watch this happen to him over and over
