Dodgers Close To Acquiring Victorino

Roughly 10% of you feel that Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino will be the biggest name dealt today.  The latest:

• A Dodgers-Victorino trade is looking very likely, tweets Heyman.  ESPN's Jayson Stark tweets that the Dodgers are close to acquiring Victorino for Lindblom and a second player.  Another sign a deal is imminent: outfielder Domonic Brown was scratched from today's Triple-A game and will be joining the Phillies in Washington, D.C., tweets Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
• The Dodgers are in serious talks for Victorino, reports Heyman.  The Phillies have been asking for relievers.
• The Reds and Phillies have ceased talks on Victorino and Juan Pierre, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, putting the Dodgers in a good position for Victorino.
• Potential Phillies target Josh Lindblom became more expendable for the Dodgers after the team acquired Brandon League from the Mariners, wrote Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports early this morning.  Lindblom, 25, has a 3.02 ERA, 8.1 K/9, 3.4 BB/9, 1.70 HR/9, and 38% groundball rate in 47 2/3 relief innings this year, so he's had some issues with the longball.
