Dodgers Official Offseason - Trade Talk Thread

[evadatam5150]

So now that we have a few extra starters, do we trade or hold and see who comes back from Injury (Bills, Lilly), or who continues to struggle (Beckett, Harang). What do we need other than to re-stock our farm system. Any ideas or rumors out there?

All I have to say is welcome back to MLB Dodgers.. We've been waiting a long time for your return.. And not because they are spending money (partly cause they are tho) but because they are building the club again with young talent and not trying to plug holes with used up over the hill type guys.

Will the Dodgers ever be done?

[Killer Clown]

No your probably gonna buy all of MLB soon. It will be 2 leagues, Dodger west and Dodger East

Shields to Kc...

[Dodgerbluemmm24]

They gave up a ton to do so though.

[Mr.gates]

Just imagine what they would want for price. I think the royals got trade raped.

[Dodgerbluemmm24]

Rays GM vs Colletti.

OH DEAR GOD.

[LASportsFan1996]

Royals are such dumbasses, Rays win the trade easily

They feel they have a young core ready to compete and all they lack is pitching lmao

[Mr.gates]

Ill give It to them they do have 5-6 young guys who have looked good so far. But they need a whole entire bullpen fbefore they can even start thinking of competing in that division.

and good pitching is the hardest thing to get

[KempForMVP]

I like the idea of Chris Capuano for Joel Hanrahan. Would bolster our bullpen and make late innings lights-out for other teams. Do it Ned.
Also, I think we should dump Harang and keep Lilly for insurance.

[KempForMVP]

Hanrahan sounds great! Not sure Capuano is enough, but he does have value. I'd also like to see the team pursue Headley again. Maybe Harang and Gordon can be part of a package to him. I think Lilly will be kept. I don't think he has any value and would add insurance if Bills can't go.

Why go after Headley? He's going to be a free agent next year and will ask for a lot of money. Sure, we have a lot of money but no need to go after him. Our infield is fine at the moment. Maybe move Dee Gordon to 2B in 2014 when Mark Ellis' contract expires.

[Dodgers99]

Because of how ungodly expensive these free agent pitchers (Lohse, Sanchez, Jackson and Dempster) seem to be, we could get a nice haul for Harang and/or Capuano.

I'm not implying that those two are the caliber of those free agents, but when you take into account cost, Harang and/or Caps might look more appealing.

Here are a few reasons "why":

286/31/115 - 5th overall for MVP, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger

All while playing on the Padres...at Petco.

Yes, He would likely cost a lot but he is worth it. What other 3B of his caliber will be available in the near future?

NOT saying we could pull it off but if there is a chance we would be foolish to ignore the opportunity.

If you have to use the words fine and maybe in your statement, there is room for improvement. Cruz and Dee will never be what he is...but they are "fine"....I guess
