Quick Hits: Dodgers, Byrd, Soler, Red Sox, Cubs

By Zachary Links | June 2, 2012 at 4:07pm CDT

The Dodgers have been sliding as of late and though they could use some reinforcements, they might not get them any time soon. General Manager Ned Colletti said that he has been contacting other teams for the last month to inquire about potential trades but hasn't found much yet, writes Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.  More from around baseball..

  • Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe (via Twitter) wonders if both of the players in the Michael Bowden–Marlon Byrd trade could be designated for assignment.  Bowden was DFA'd by the Cubs yesterday to make room for right-hander Jairo Asencio while Byrd could be DFA'd by the Red Sox when Darnell McDonald returns.
  • Jorge Soler's agent, Barry Praver, has requested that offers for his client be submitted by Thursday, June 7th, a source tells Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus (via Twitter).
  • The Red Sox aren't aggressively shopping Kevin Youkilis right now because he has been hitting well and the club doesn't know when Carl Crawford and Jacoby Ellsbury will be back, writes Buster Olney of ESPN.com (Insider sub. req'd).
  • Jim Bowden of ESPN.com (Insider req'd) suggests three trades to help fix the Cubs.

    The trades suggested by Bowden give evidence to why he is no longer a GM.

    Holy Smokes! As a huge Cubs fan if Theo and Jed pulled off all 3 trades Bowden suggest I would go to the local bar and buy drinks for the house all night.

        Dempster for Medlen and Minor

        Garza for Turner and Castellanous

        Lahair for Chissenhall and Hagadone

        Sorry for the spelling, away from the article.

          So, in Bowden’s scenario Theo has compromising pictures of several GMs?

    ESPN needs to stop charging for information. They already make enough money off sponsors.

      i agree that it’s tacky of them to do so, but it’s not so much information as it is opinion. we can live without throwing our money at them for useless articles.

      Yeah really. I’d keep Byrd in a ‘I’d rather have my eyesight then hearing’ kind of decision. Atleast Byrd has a better track record.

       I feel like Byrd is the keeper by far. At least he looks like he’s trying, and he’s been plenty successful in the past.
