Ventura is not going to start heaping dirt on a veteran player like Dank's grave, but its obvious that Danks is on the outs.
I'm wondering why now. Danks was decent against the Angels in his last start and with the amount of money Danks is owed I figured they would give him at least another couple starts before making a move like this. Three possible reasons for this happening now:
1) last year of Danks deal, money is spent either way
2) the team looks good, cant afford to sacrifice games early in the season trying to wrestle some value out of Danks
3) Danks has admitted to coaches he's done and wont be upset if the Sox phase him out
