3 way trade?

[Troutipoo27]

Scioscia to the Dodgers

Manuel to the Angels

Mattingly to the Phillies

Yes? No? Why? Why not?

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

It's very unlikely, but if it did happen, it might have to happen this week. Rosenthal, said there's rumors that Mattingly going to be fired by this Thursday.

[Angel Oracle]

Manuel is becoming irrelevant too these past few seasons.

[nate]

Manuel?  He is terrible.

[Halos of Anaheim]

I'd keep Scioscia over Manuel in a heartbeat. There's nothing that Manuel can do that Scioscia hasn't done or can't do better.

Mason and Ireland were talking about this today.

Their suggestion was to trade Scioscia to the Dodgers for prospects to rebuild our farm, go with anyone for manager to finish the year, then find a permanent manager during the off season.

I'd rather have McGwire than Mattingly.  Get it done Doggies, and fire him.  

[Homebrewer]

Dodgers have money. Give them permission to talk to Scioscia and then work out a compensation package.

Cash and pitching prospects.

Make them take Hammy or Pujey in the deal.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Has a manager ever been traded during the season? Manager trades are rare enough, but in May?

I don't know if you're serious, but the Dodgers would never give up that much. They would give up one or maybe two C level prospects that would probably never make it to the ML.

Don't think any of those trades were during the season though.

[haloman]

Ish would hit the fan.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I can't imagine why any of the clubs other than the Dodgers would be even remotely interested in the deal as presented. Charlie Manuel is almost 70, and his teams have accomplished zip the past couple of years. Why the Phillies would consider bringing in Mattingly with the way the Dodgers have performed with all that payroll is beyond me.

[JAHV76]

No manager changes will happen until season seats renewals have been sent out for 2014.

[gurn67]

Boy, I sure wouldn't want to be the guy who gets to tell Phillies' fans that their new manager is Don Mattingly.

[Brent Maguire]

This would never happen and it makes no sense for either team really. Scioscia is the best out of the bunch anyways.

limits that's why other teams throw in other players.

[Carlota Gonzalez]

That's the rumor I'm hearing (I work with a sports station in Vegas). Sosh to Dodgers for prospects. We'll see. If it happens, I see it at end of year. If Doyyers fire Mattingly, they'll just put a stop gap guy til The end of the year.

[nate]

Arte would never allow Scioscia to be traded to the Dodgers.

[stormngt]

Scioscia to the Dodgers

Manuel to the Angels

Mattingly to the Phillies

Yes? No? Why? Why not?

Because I am the minority here and I still think Scioscia is a pretty good manager and any replacement we get would do not better.

 

Second, Moreno has gone through great lengths to capture the Los Angeles fan base away from the Dogs.  That would completely blow up in his face if Scioscia were to leave the Angels and win a WS with the Dogs.

[stormngt]

Arte would never allow Scioscia to be traded to the Dodgers.

Sosh succeeding with the Dogs would be Moreno's worst nightmare.

It's a shame if Arte is so obsessed on capturing L.A.'s fan base that he is willing to risk the success of his franchise.

I am not saying Scioscia is a bad manager or a bad fit here. I am just saying Mr. Moreno needs to worry about his team on the field.

[Adam]

if you can get players for a manager...do it

[Adam]

Sosh succeeding with the Dogs would be Moreno's worst nightmare.

 

 

I bet getting AIDS would be worse

[mtangelsfan]

Maybe Arte doesn't dream about STD's.
