Scott Kazmir has heard his name pop up in trade rumors, but made it known that he would prefer to stay with the Rays.

The Angels have been mentioned as a possible suitor and while the Rays haven't given any indication that they are looking to deal the pitcher, he expressed his disappointment on Friday.

"I thought when I signed, it was kind of a bargain deal (for the team). And I'd be good to go, and I'd be here for a long time, at least until my contract ends," Kazmir told the St. Petersburg Times. "But who knows? That's baseball."

Kazmir has at least two years and $22.5 million remaining on his contract.
