As a player with 10 years in the majors and five with his current team, Rafael Furcal would have to approve any trade involving him. But there's little reason to think he would block the deal that is close to being made, according to Tony Jackson of ESPNLosAngeles.com, that would send Furcal to St. Louis.The Dodgers, who are currently committed to paying Furcal's 2011 salary, would reportedly end up paying a good portion of it even if the trade goes through. But it would give them the chance of receiving some immediate player compensation, while fully launching the Dee Gordon opera into its overture.St. Louis would be hoping it gets the Furcal who played well enough (and enough, period) to make the All-Star Game just last year.
