I guess this means they are no longer interested in Aramis.

Wow. Just saw it on MLBTR. wasn't Eovaldi the guy who made his debut the same night as Fiers?

[Hitman_Hart]

Indeed he was. Kid threw smoke, too.

Han Ram would have looked really good at shortstop, and in front of Braun in the lineup. Too bad we don't have a pitcher that we could have traded to the Marlins.

This was a "blow it up" move, i seriously doubt they would have taken Grienke, and we would have to pay all of Han Ram's salary. Unless you think a Thornburg or Fiers would have gotten the job done.

Cue the people complaining, "Why wasn't DM talking to the Dodgers?"

[jwill535]

Looks like they are going to play him at short with Dee Gordon on the DL.

Yeah, they were looking for a young SP. I don't know how our guys compare with Eovaldi, as he's already pitching effectively in the majors and has better "stuff" than most of our guys. If Peralta had made a few good starts at the MLB level, he may be comparable, but probably not as highly rated. Something like Peralta and Thornburg might have been tempting for Miami, but would we want to give up more of our farm (and two pitchers who we're counting on over the next few years) for another high-priced vet... even one as good as Hanley? We'd then have to find our pitching on the FA market, and I don't think we'd have the money to add Hanley and some FA SP.

 

Unless the Dodgers are really going all out, and are going to dump Gordan, this effectively ends the speculation of Ramirez to the Dodgers. Of course, I'd be happy if we could trade them Ramirez for Gordan and they could have Hanley at SS and Aramis at 3B... that would give them a potent offense from the left side of the infield and solve our SS problem for a long time... probably won't happen.

This ironically probably means less playing time for Luis Cruz (yes, that Luis Cruz).

[jerichoholicninja]

A-Rod broke his hand. Maybe the Yankees want Aramis.

[Ennder]

Eovaldi made his debut in 2011.

 

This move was almost certainly sparked by the Marlins announcing that they wanted to get rid of Hanley more than anything. He is such a club house distraction that they were tired of him and just wanted to dump him. This was more about the Marlins and less about the Dodgers.

The sell off the Marlins are doing right now is really incredible. After spending so much on Reyes, Buehrle, and Bell in the offseason and opening a new stadium it really is amazing that they are blowing up the team so quickly. They have a good team I just don't understand there logic in this. They just have some players having bad years (Sound familar).

[Outlander]

I'm sure if the Dodgers are still interested in Carlos Lee they could get him on the cheap now.

Clubhouse cancer pretty much. Infante was not part of their future. Sanchez was walking at the end of the year. Ramirez is bad for the team outside of his production. It makes sense to me.
