RECAP:

 

- Says the RJ deal is not complete like everyone says. It is close, but not there yet.

- There is a 4th team involved that will be getting Vasquez from the Dodgers (everyone assumes it is the White Sox) but he isn't sure yet.

- Says the deal doesn't make sense for the Dodgers to give all of this up just to get Javy. Says they will definitely be trading him to free up some money to go out and chase after JD Drew, Magglio, or possibly even Beltran.

- From talks by Rosenthal, it sounds like the Dodgers would be dealing Vazquez to save money. (Konerko makes 8-9? Garland makes 3? I don't see how that is really saving money)

Other Tidbits:

Rosenthal's predictions of where players will end up:

 

Sosa: Baltimore

Delgado: Dodgers (after trading Javy Vasquez)

Beltran: Yankees

Lowe: Tigers

Drew: Mets

 

His best value FA: Maggs Ordonez

Thanks for the info JD. Have any relatives working with the Dodgers as well?

I was one of the ones that liked the Lee deal, however if we dump Konerko I don't care what Kenny is thinking. I don't care how good are pitching is if we can't score runs we can't win.

The White Sox are not the 4th team, and will not trade Paul Konerko without getting another powerhitter. That is from Levine.
