Puig officially on the block...

[floplag]

Budget friendly contract, good production, looks like a pretty nice bridge to Adell?  Shift Calhoun to some 1B duty?
Cant imagine they want too much under the circumstances
Anyone?
 

[Second Base]

Officially on the block and officially better than Kole Calhoun, as is pretty much every starting OF that has been made available. But fair warning, if Calhoun's inconsistency pisses you off, get ready for whiplash from Puig. He'll have streaks where he's a marquee defender in RF and at the plate, he'll carry an offense for weeks at a time. Then he'll get hurt, then he'll come back and be useless at the plate and in the field.

I've watched him quite a bit, yes he can be streaky but when hot he can carry.  I love the fire myself though i know a lot here dont like the guy.

He’s Jose Guillen 2.0  No thanks

[hangin n wangin]

He would help us win games. If he came at a good price, I would take him.

[ten ocho recon scout]

His house gets broken into all the time. No thanks.

[howie]

I seem to remember reading about him having a really good relationship with Pujols.  If Albert can help him be consistent, I’m down.  

[T.G.]

Remember when Dodger fans thought he was better than Trout?

[CanadianHalo]

Yes please

That 1 month span in Summer of 2013, it was a nice try by the Doyer fans

Idiots.

This is what I read about Puig and Pujols: https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/jeff-gordon/tipsheet-puig-takes-pujols-advice-to-heart/article_51ccea86-1c4f-538b-8801-de53c3eb5c39.html

If the Angels got Puig and then had Cahoun play 1B against right handed pitching, I'd be down with that.

Do we need to spend prospect capital and $12 mil for a year of Puig when we may have the same player available by mid-season for half mil?

I was at that game that night, I remember Richards tossed a Complete game Shutout. Prime Richards was a beast so was the 2014 team, much simpler times

Just wait till till they get Harper.  

[mancini79]

He's been on the block for a few years. The Dodgers just want too much in return. He'll still be in LA on opening day.

Or we get him and if we are out of it by mid-season, we are the one trading him and getting something for him.

This year is different.  They have a ton of out fielders, may try to get Harper and Puig is in his last year of his contract.

[WeatherWonk]

Everyone is on the block with the Dodgers. Puig, Kemp, Bellinger, Rich Hill, Alex Wood, Pederson.

Havent heard anything about Turner, unfortunately. 

[Stradling]

I don’t think you’ll see Bellinger moved.  I would love to have the guy even though he seems to hav an issue with striking out.  But a 23 year old 4 WAR player, yea that is pretty valuable.  I would also take Puig over Kole.  

[nate]

Bellinger would be a great get but no way they trade him.  He has a ton of talent and potential.

[19HALO71]

Waive Pujols, move Calhoun to first and trade for Puig. Ohtani is the full time DH and we're a better more versatile team.

Here is an incredibly thorough look, at this point in time, at most of the big trade rumors. It does speak to the Dodgers talking to teams about moving Bellinger.
