"If I get traded, I get traded. Nothing you can do," Youkilis told the Boston Herald before Tuesday's game against the Marlins. "I wouldn't be the first or the last person here in this room to be traded…Am I happy here this year? I mean, did it start out well this year? It hasn't been fun. So what are you going to do? You've got a game, you've got your teammates, you've got to play. That's all you can do."
In addition to spending a big chunk of time on the disabled list this season, Youkilis is hitting just .219 and getting on base at a .303 clip in 37 games. The lack of results and Will Middlebrooks' emergence have led to teams reportedly showing interest in Youkilis, and fans eveywhere wondering how much longer the 33-year-old will be in Boston.
Youkilis is in the final guaranteed season of a four-year, $41.125 million contract.
