Olney On Dodgers, Lee, Yankees

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | June 22, 2010 at 10:33am CDT

One general manager told ESPN.com's Buster Olney that "it's becoming pretty clear" that the Dodgers won't be able to add pitching at the trade deadline. But Ed Price of AOL FanHouse heard from an MLB source that the Dodgers are scouting starters "aggressively" in preparation for possible trades. The Dodgers could use starting pitching given John Ely's last three starts and the injuries to Chad Billingsley and Carlos Monasterios, but executives appear to be divided on their ability to acquire it. Here are the rest of Olney's rumors:

  • Rival teams are waiting for the Mariners to indicate that they're willing to deal Cliff Lee. One GM says it will be "a win for the Mariners" if and when they do trade Lee, since Jack Zduriencik will probably obtain better prospects than the ones he gave up for the left-hander in December.
  • The Yankees are focused on improving their offense right now. Olney wonders if the Yanks could pursue a powerful infielder like Ty Wigginton. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports listed some easier-to-obtain infielders yesterday.

    Not that I want to trade him because I think he is a solid MLB starter and you can never have too many quality starters, but Kenshin Kawakami could be available in a few weeks if Jurrjens comes back healthy for a few starts and Bobby/Wren decide on Medlen over Kawakami in the rotation. Its also possible we could eat a fair chunk of the 6.77MM is making depending on the quality of the return.

    I think Kawakami would fit in nicely in the Dodger’s rotation and may enjoy pitching alongside Kuroda.

      I say the chances of that are slim unless they eat at least 80% of his salary.

    why in the world would the Yankees be interested in Wigginton, with Cano and Jeter.

    AND hes a right handed Bat off the bench with pop, Why wouldn’t they try to get him if the asking price isn’t to much

    Yanks need a UIF that can play all IF positions….Ramiro Pena makes Jerry Hairston Jr. look like Babe Ruth.

    Wiggington is a really good all around ball player who can play the OF even in a pinch. he would be the perfect utility guy for a lot of teams, but would Angelos trade him to the Yank’s? Can’t see why not, O’s not going anywhere.

    Could or would the Yankees want to obtain Aki from the Pirates. A nice back up for Cano and A-Rod.

        How about David Wright or Youkilis as a backup for A-Rod?

          Really? You have to go to that extreme because I don’t want someone who has posted a slash line of .182/.292/.267 on the year?

    Formerdraftpick, I don’t think that is an option, Aki is left handed, i think they would want a Wigginton type, that could play everyday if needed and That Right handed bat On the bench
