    They're really not a bad team. They were just smart last year and sold when they knew they could get some good pieces instead of watching a guy like Melancon go for a draft pick at the end. With their pitching coach, he'll probably make Hudson into a superstar closer and they'll move him at the deadline for a huge haul.

    I'm starting to think that Kazmir and McCarthy may be on the roster when spring training rolls around. Some of the teams that I thought that may have interest, have gone either for someone cheap or made moves elsewhere. Yesterday's Sox/Phils trade promptly removed a likely destination for a guy like Kazmir. It did show what the return would likely be for both players... nothing...

    It is starting to feel like everyone is waiting for another shoe to drop. The EE and Trumbo thing is fucking annoying as they are holding up everything IMO. Teams are waiting for them to get sorted out and then can start moving more chips around, but they keep waiting for better offers that don't seem to be coming. The Twins appear to be in stall mode as they are now saying that they will hold onto Dozier unless the offers get better, which is them overplaying their hand. The rumors of the Giants being interest reeks of "Give us a better offer Dodgers!!!" as they could say, "here is Panik, Arroyo, Beede and Shaw", then the Dodgers can respond, "and here is De Leon, Stewart and Thompson still, our offer is still fucking better". I would not be shocked if the new Twins GM overplays his hand and the Dodgers do end up with someone like Forsythe or Solarte.

    I've never had much faith in us moving Kazmir or McCarthy for any salary relief anyway. The amount we could save by trading either would likely be peanuts, and at the end of the day we can still use bodies in the rotation. It's hard to imagine something coming along that will make us jump for joy as fans.

    Your assessment reminds me of Amaro in Philly. I think Cole Hamels was on the block for 5 years before he was finally traded.

    agreed
    probably the only way to unload them [successfully] would be to include them in part of a bigger deal

    and even then he was only traded when the phillies went into fire sale mode

    Jon Paul Mor(on)si says "the Dodgers have enough prospects to land both Dozier and Braun"

    Hey, idiot. These prospects are going to play for the Dodgers. If we wanted to trade them all we would've done it already.

    But even then, the only way we are unloading them without paying 70% of their salary is by giving away extra prospects. The best we can hope for is that they can show they're healthy and then a team with deep pockets who doesn't want to trade prospects becomes desperate for a pitcher they can get for cash. The most likely team to fall in that scenario is us...

    That was nice timing. This is starting to sound like one of those deals where both teams have dug their heels in the sand and it never comes together. The Twins in all likelihood are trying to say that his second half is the new norm and the Dodgers are countering with the last 3 years combined is the norm.
