The 29-year-old Epstein, who has shared his position with veteran, stars through most of his major league career, went out and slammed three hits the night the trade was announced. One of the hits was his 13th home run of the season. He admitted he was mad, as well as worried. "I busied ray (ail for this team and then I read in the paper where we got player to platoon with me," he said.
