Well...trade has been agreed upon but not yet made official.

Hmmmmm, i hope this doesn't lead to Utley being on the field tonight in a Philly uniform with tears in his eyes

They are crying out for bullpen upgrades and end up trading for this dude,the Dodgers front office really are a bunch of clowns.

**deadstare** · 08-19-15, 04:21 PM

zaidi and friedman are clowns

**Covy** · 08-19-15, 04:26 PM

He's really raking since he came off the DL

Very solid upgrade

**Auto Donk** · 08-19-15, 04:33 PM

not the Los Angeles Dodgers.........

but rather the "Los Angeles FUKKIN' Dodgers!!!!!!!!"

**marcoloco** · 08-19-15, 04:42 PM

Mac is going to be pissed

**Big Bear** · 08-19-15, 04:45 PM

Maybe this will rejuvenate him.

He has given absolutely no effort all year long in Philadelphia

he played his college ball at UCLA so maybe when he comes to LA he will actually give 100% effort and play with some pride.

**mpaschal34** · 08-19-15, 06:02 PM

as covy said, guy has been hitting well lately. could be a solid addition.

Thank you! People here are lazy and don't understand things like this.

Same thing in the Papelbon thread. They remembered a couple of bad seasons, and never realized the guy was having an All-Star year.

no team interested in taking his 4 mil salary for remainder of 2015

**Ebe** · 08-19-15, 09:38 PM

Bunch of penetrates

**JMobile** · 08-19-15, 09:47 PM

Gonna pound the Dodgers for the rest of the season.

**Cross** · 08-19-15, 11:04 PM

They need something for a spark.

**goduke** · 08-20-15, 12:26 AM

dont count him out, he will be a game changer come playoff time guaranteed

**Otters27** · 08-20-15, 07:01 AM

Guys often get a second wind when they get trade from a bad team to a contender. This could be the year the Dodger break through

**jjgold** · 08-20-15, 08:10 AM

go play guys from minor leagues....young and hungry

lol..Dodgers pretenders

wheres he going to play he isn't starting over Howie when he comes back ....can he play 3rd?

**MoMoneyMoVaughn** · 08-20-15, 08:56 AM

This is not gonna end well...

**teaserpleaser** · 08-20-15, 09:17 AM

might as well bring up corey seager he might be the spark they need let him play 3rd Turner obviously cant handle it everyday .... They are going to try and get Utley "work at 3rd" its a little late in the game isn't It to switch a dude from 2nd to the hot corner. baseball is funny they act shocked when alberto callaspo has no power and hits 260. that's who the dude was when he was with the halos basically his whole career. Trading Uribe for that bum was retarded. Somebody aint making the best decisions that needs to be making the Right decisions.

is how you build winners not free agents that are overpriced

**BigSpoon** · 08-20-15, 12:51 PM

$300M payroll and got Rollins and Utley playing middle infield. Would have been great if this was 2007 though.

yep. It looks like the Dodgers front office is taking notes from the Yankees.

and on the other the Atlanta Braves seem to be taking notes from the Oakland A's. (Trade every good player who comes thru the organization)

well for one Kimbrell was VERY important. Perhaps the best closer in baseball.

Justin Upton was good.

Alex Wood was a promising young pitcher.

Juan Uribe was helping them win games.
