OFFICIAL 2012 LOS ANGELES DODGERS THREAD : 68-58 Dodgers/BoSox complete minimal trade - Page 15

Nice pick up by the Dodgers. Kemp,Either, Ramirez

Dempster is going to be a Dodger, basically nixed the Braves trade by using his 10-5 rights.

I was hoping Ned wouldn't **** up the Hanley deal.

The best part of this is that the rumors involving top guys the Dodgers are in the mix. That is good to hear.

Boss trade.

 

I wonder if Bills outing made him good trade bait; time to cut bait while it's good?

Hamels re-upping with Phillies @ 23m/yr

 

Not even mad.

Bills should have been traded a long time ago, but its not going to happen.

Hanley, welcome to LA

Im not sure if i even wanna see dee gordon with the way luis cruz looks at the plate.

Hanley going back to SS? Possibly to bring him back to form?

Move him to short and make him happy, I don't give a f

Hopefully Hanley can return to his old form. Either way it's still an upgrade. And we didn't give up much. Ned actually did something right

Wow, I expected Ned to give up the entire farm with that Hanley trade. Good job for once.

I'm iffy about Dempster only because he's 38, in the last year of his deal, and we might give up a top prospect for him.

*Looks for tickets to Monday's game*

Wow

Good luck to Hamels being in last place for the next 5 years. The Phillies' roster and minor-league system isn't scaring anybody.

Hanley Even if he doesn't regain his 2007 form, I love that the Dodgers didn't give up that much for him.

It's a good gamble though. My only question is, who's gonna be sent down, DFA'd etc..? No way you send down Luis Cruz with the way he's playing right now.

Go for Greinke!

Just heard about this

It really is all about what Ned can do with this new ownership, gave up pretty much nothing for Hanley and a lefty bp arm cause the new owners were willing to take on salary.

If this was Frank forsure Zlee would be gone.

Anyways, Dempster has a lot of leverage as well as the Dodgers and i'm hearing Hunter Pence?

My whole body is ready.

Nope, ownership came in after the season started (May). Majority of the front office is worried about their job, and are looking elsewhere, some have seen the writing on the wall and have jumped ship.

New ownership usually means cleaning house, people know heads are rolling this off season. Everyone is on edge, wont really see changes in morale until next calendar year, when new execs/directors/etc are in place.

Before you guys start giving Ned high fives, he isn't the only one pulling strings, Kasten is heavily involved. The only reason it was basically a straight up swap, Hanley for EO, is because we took on all the cash.

Dempster trade didn't happen because the organization doesn't want to give up Lee. Now they know that Dempster wants to come here.

Bills isn't going anywhere, he has a hefty contract that no one will take, might as well keep him.

I got tickets for next Tuesdays deadline I wonder what other moves we make.

It begins, Hanleywood

Kemp and Hanley already sharing laughs in the dugout.

Mark

Game is still on right now, but dude already has a pretty good night going.

Good night for Hanley, bad night for the rest. Can't even buy a run when needed.

Hanley's first bomb as a Dodger.

the game was pretty damn good.
