July 30, 200421 yr Heres the potential deal. Almost happining. L.A. gets Finley from Arizona, and Brad Penny and Hee Seop Choi from Florida. Florida gets Guillermo Mota, Paul Lo Duca and Juan Encarnacion from L.A. Arizona gets Jayson Werth from the Dodgers, and prospects from the Marlins.
July 30, 200421 yr I like the trade for the Dodgers. However, losing Mota is gonna hurt 'cause he's one badass set-up man.
July 30, 200421 yr I find any three way trade amazing. I cannot get three friends to pick the same damn restaurant for lunch.
July 30, 200421 yr Author az got screwed in this. so much for loduca and mota that wouldve solved our catching probs and are reliever problems.
July 30, 200421 yr Is it just me or does this deal totally screw Florida? I mean, they lose Penny, Hee Seop (who IMO is going to be one hell of a power hitter in a year or two), and more prospects, and all they get back, really is Mota? I mean, La Duca and Encarnacion IIRC are both getting up there in age, and I'd much rather have Penny/Choi then LaDuca/Encarnacion/Mota.
July 30, 200421 yr By the look of this deal, LA makes out like a bandit. The other two get screwed with the exception of Marlins getting Mota. Other than this its total robbery for LA.
July 30, 200421 yr Loduca AND Mota? Wow. That really has got to suck for LA, seems like they could be screwed now. Or do they have another catcher?
July 30, 200421 yr How is this not a good trade for Arizona? All they do is give up a 39-year-old Finley, who wouldn't help them much this year, and they get some good prospects in return.
July 30, 200421 yr Or do they have another catcher? They have Koyie Hill in AAA, but I don't know how major league ready he is.
July 30, 200421 yr This deal really banks on the fact that FLA will have a healthy Beckett the rest of the way
July 30, 200421 yr Anyone else find it funny that Encarnacion could be going back to the Marlins? I noticed that too. Thought it was kind of weird myself as well.
July 30, 200421 yr Charles Johnson is going to LA. This pretty much means this 3 way is going down, or Lo Duca is going elsewhere.
July 30, 200421 yr According to ESPN, the Marlins/Dodgers deal is done. Marlins get: Encarnacion, Mota and LoDuca Dodgers get: Hee Seop Choi, Penny and a AA pitcher
