Bob Sacamano Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) The other side is that you are also giving up on a lot of production as well. Right so I feel like it sort of evens out a bit. And it's also possible the prospects you give up turn into duds however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy cow, I had no idea he was still under contract for this long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Are any of those good prospects? Seems like Kendrick would be a decent bet for a bounce back yeard and he'd have some value at the deadline (more so then what the Dodgers got).

Ruf isn't a prospect and is most likely a bench piece and the other guy they dealt for Utley originally. They're just spare parts and a way for Dodgers to save some money.

Probably don't have to move Urias or whoever their next best prospect is, but probably a few from just under those guys. Probably makes more sense for them than dealing for Sale to be honest.

I really like that kid. No doubt that Verlander had an amazing year last season, his best in a while, but he will be 34 before the seasons starts and still makes $28M a year for through age 36 season, plus a $22M vesting option for age 37 season. Obviously not saying he's a salary dump, but I feel like the Dodgers can hold on to their top pieces if they wanted Verlander. The worst part would be it's one less suitor to drive up prices for Sale and Q for the Red Sox/Yankees/Astros/Rangers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Let's hope Detroit apparently tearing down doesn't cause KW to reconsider the organization's approach this offseason....Verlander to LA makes sense as well because of career opportunities for Kate Upton out there.

If the right deal comes along, need to pull the trigger quickly even if it is November 12th. Every team exploring other options is one less trading partner/negotiating ploy to drive up his price. I'm not trying to discredit Hahn or anything, I'm sure he's hard at work, but I'm of the opinion we cannot just sit back and wait this offseason. Playing the "it's only (insert month)" or "wait until winter meetings" games will quickly then become "oh well, I guess we'll try again during the midseason." I trust he'll understand how important this offseason is to this team. Edited November 12, 2016 by Flash Tizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely don't have to trade their best few prospects in a deal and his contract isn't an issue. Hopefully Boston or Houston can still pony up.
