They dumped a horrible pitcher on a terrible contract.  They have 3 trade chips for the deadline. Except for me not knowing about the reds prospects this seems like a great deal for them.  

How much are they going to get for Wood and Puig as rentals ? 

Not a lot dude.

I read with the extra money the Dodgers had to throw in, they basically only saved 15 million.

They can afford Justin Bour and Matt Harvey now.

Puig will get a nice haul.  I see him having a 30hr year in cinci.

So the Dodgers fixed their OF log jam, got 2 high draft pick players and cleared payroll to sign Harper.  Must be nice having ownership that is smart and wants to win. They've been way more successful than the Angels since 2013 and aren't slowing down.  Oh well.

Fixed it for you.

Were you watching them before their current ownership took over?

Huh? Dodgers have been to the playoffs 10 times and 2 World Series appearances since 2002. Angels have 6 playoff appearances and 0 World Series.

We got a couple of injury-prone, not-so-young pitchers and a first baseman who can relegate Albert to the bench for a good deal of games.

Not too bad, but if that's all, then this will be a disappointing offseason.

Need a lockdown closer and Machado. Or someone similar who can hit.

I think you're going to disappointed.

It’s what he does.  He’d actually be more disappointed if they improved,  As it is he was going to have a hard time complaining all season long now that Sosh is gone.

Its that simple, eh?

Youres seriously forgetting the 2000s under mccourt. Dont get me wrong, the NL west was a powerhouse during that time and all...

Theyre recent run has a lot to do with outspending every sports franchise in the world over the last 6 years or so. 

Boston was handcuffed with bad payroll, with agon, crawford and beckett. Luckily the dodgers took all those contracts from them...and kept spending afterwards.

Theyre the only team that can do that. Even the Yankees tap out at some point. 

But youre again displaying some amnesia for the mccourt years...

I think this trade may be about getting Realmuto not about signing Harper. They get two more prospects to help in the deal. One of them is a 1st rounder named "Jeter" Downs and is a local phenom from Miami. I think the Marlins worked in concert with the Dodgers in choosing Downs and Gray.

Great post!  I hope it is about Realmuto.  But quite frankly it is the Dodgers, they could sign Harper and trade for Realmuto and possibly trade for Kluber as well, although I think the Indians would have to be blown away to move Kluber now that they shed some other payroll. By the way if the Dodgers did get Harper, Realmuto and Kluber they will win it all.

I am displaying facts. They have been more successful than the Angels since 2002.

[Broad Street]

So I guess the Dodgers already released Homer Bailey... Which means we can sign him and pay him the league minimum! The piece! 

 

He did throw a no hitter a few years back.

I would be proud of that if I was a Dodger fan.  Since I am not, I don't care.

and be our closer 

So that is Shohei Ohtani's stage name?

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Must be nice to be in a position to acquire a guy with about $50M left on his deal and just cut him as soon as he arrives.

Not sure Miami is looking for a grouping of top 100ish prospects.  Their demands are outrageous given the catcher market.

[NJHalo]

Rumor around here has Giancarlo Stanton going to the Dodgers, and the Yankees signing Harper.

Link?  Not in the dick way of asking for a link, I just can’t find anything about it.  Dodgers have a few left handed bats with Bellinger, Seager, Pederson and if they resigned Grandal so I could see them wanting another right handed bat.

it's been reported that they are looking for major league ready talent.

Which is why they asked for Robles who appears to be ready or why they asked for Bellinger.  I wouldn’t give up Bellinger straight up for Realmuto.

Nor would I, but I do think there is merit to the Realmuto argument.

Sorry, driving. I heard them discussing it this morning on WFAN. While it’s only a rumor, it’s the same source that reported the Cano to the Mets trade days before anyone else.
