Dodgers Official Offseason - Trade Talk Thread

[rasajr23]

Makes sense that the Pirates would want Van Slyke , since his pop played very well for them years ago. The Pirates probably think the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree and are intrigued about the possibilities. I say do it!!!

This would be great! I think Torre was an overrated manager...but I believe his emphasis on quality pitchers was right on. Can't have enough pitching, guys!

I honestly wouldn't mind another all star caliber SP. Barring injury, pitchers are more consistent than hitters...and our hitting was BAD at the end of last year. I'd be ecstatic with a Lee..even Sanchez...maybe even Dickey if it doesn't cost us too much.

I'm going to merge this into the off-season thread.

If there is a trade happening and you have legit sources, make another thread but this is just speculation.

I thought the Dodgers might try to sign Hamilton due to the fact the market is lower than he might of expected. Go in for the steal. Well I was wrong on the team, but was right in the city. Wow image The middle of the Angeles order will be a beast if they sign him. I still wish the dodgers would sign him. Most say don't need him. I for one thing he would be the best hitting on team if kemp don't recover this season.

@JonHeymanCBS: #angels are indeed getting closer on hamilton deal, as @joeontheradio reported

[DodgerB24]

I wonder how much Anaheim offered Hamilton.

[RAIDLAKDODG4LIF]

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: #Angels, Hamilton in agreement. Five-year deal, as first reported by @jonmorosi.

[RAIDLAKDODG4LIF]

Angeles did the what I wanted the dodgers to do. They replaced hunter for Hamilton. I wanted Hamilton to replace Ethier.

[DodgerB24]

Replace one bad contract with another bad contract.

Eh.

[USCTROJANS21]

Sounds like Kendrys Morales is expendable now. He could fill our 4th outfielder, backup 1B positions. Although i doubt the Angels would ask for nothing less than the moon from us.

[RAIDLAKDODG4LIF]

I don't know about 2 bad contracts. I wouldn't have paid Ethier for the amount he signed for.

[bigboyblu]

With the angels having too many outfielders and a hole in the rotation do you think a Harang for Bourjos trade would be possible.

[bluedawgalex]

angels paid him 125 million

cant blame them, he's a beast. if he keeps it together, angels can be real good

pujols, hamilton & trout is a beast 3-4-5

[LA RO]

Wow

[LA RO]

Are we done?

[donnysdodgers]

Dodgers have done a good job of loading up the front of the rotation, it will be interesting to see how Ryu turns out. Looks like he has good stuff but that was also against non-MLB competition. I think the addition of a power-bat for the bench is key (nobody on the bench right now could hit more than 5 homers in a season with an aluminum bat I don't think).
