LAD aren’t a fit for Fernandez, Friedman just refuses to pay the exorbitant amount which Hill and the ownership of the marlins are thinking they can get out of him. LA has exactly what they need.. Long term fix for a problem area (3b) which they have had since Jorge Cantu left half a dozen years ago. Another possible ace in the making in Urias. Multiple complimentary pieces Friedman might move, Alex Guerrero being one.
Major league ready piece, plus top prospects. LA and Boston both could go that way, should the Marlins get real on the asking price. LA isn’t going to give up both Seager and Urias and Boston isn’t going to give up (for a fact) Mookie Betts. They would be willing to include Eduardo Rodriquez and others am pretty sure.

I couldn’t agree more. This is why I believe the Dodgers don’t have to trade the players they got from the Sox. Sign the young Japanese pitcher… Meada I believe is his name and you trade Ethier, CC, and Alex for bullpen arms.
Dodgers can’t be the “desperate” ones out there. They have the $, no spend it. They won’t get anyone that can duplicate what Zack did last year but maybe they don’t have to.

Surprised that Cantu is still playing and hit 27 homeruns and batted in 123 runs last year.

No one wants Alex Guerrero. Don’t act like your spare parts are worth a cup of tea in China.
And Jose Fernandez makes less than 1Mil this season, so I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Alex Guerrero does have value!! He is an extremely versatile player, and has quite a bit of talent….
I wish the Dodgers would trade him, or play him on a daily basis, selfishly, just so I could see what he could do with regular at-bats and over the course of a full major league season…
Don’t get me wrong, he would not be the centerpiece of just about any deal for a starting pitcher. Although, to say he is solely just a “spare part” and he “isn’t worth a cup of tea in China,” well that is just flat out ignorant. I’m sure you were just over exaggerating….
And he was not referring to Fernandez’s salary, when mentioning “price,” he was simply talking about the Marlins demands, or “asking price,” for Fernandez, in terms of prospects, wpuld cost too much….
But back to Guerrero, I’m sure just about every World Series team would welcome a player like Guerrero onto their bench as a super utility guy….Flexible, versatile, and talented guys like Guerrero are becoming more and more valuable in today’s baseball market…With players becoming so one dimensional, defensively, guys like Guerrero, who can play all over the diamond, are quickly becoming valuable commodities, with Ben Zobrist being the golden standard…!!

.261 OBP negative defensive value 29 years old has strange clauses in his contract that team needs his permission to option him to the minors. Oh did I mention hes making close to 8 million the next two years? They’d be lucky to get that cup of tea.

I don’t know if that’s annoyance I am reading into your post but if it is, its misplaced. The Marlins had already stated Fernandez is off limits but the Dodgers pushed anyway so the Dodgers were given a price..an absolutely ridiculous one. This is what an off limits player costs. Of course LA shouldn’t send them Seager, Pederson and Urias, along with two other players. Anything short of that and the Marlins are happy to let Fernandez pitch for them.

But I bet they would give up that much for Sonny Gray

bringing chipper back into the fold of the braves organization is probably the best move they have done in the past two years.
RunDMC
He was already doing exactly what he would be doing, now it’s just official and now he’s on the payroll with a cubicle. Baseball’s in his blood and he lives at the batting cages. Hopefully this will be the starting point of him to get into coaching….

Could the Braves be so lucky to have him be the manager in 2017? I sure would like to see that!

Just go ahead and let chipper manage the team he is definitely smarter than fredi

Okay trade scenario…..
Dodgers trade Puig and Alex Guerrero to the Braves….
Braves trade Julio Teheran, Erick Aybar, and Williams Perez….
I consider this to be fair value for both sides…Braves get a possible dynamic, albeit troubled, player who needs a change of scenery, and a versatile ML player to help rotate in and out of their line-up…
Dodgers get a talented, cost-controlled SP with a ceiling of a #2 starter and the consistency of a solid #3, along with a quality, proven starting versatile infielder, and a quality controllable #5 starter/swing man who can eat up innings and who provides value to any pitching group he joins.

I don’t want Puig on our team…
chieftoto
Don’t want Puig
disturbedphenom
Yea, dont want Puig.
vtncsc
Braves don’t need Puig. He wouldn’t fit w/ our fan base either.
dmoyer31
I’d like that trade too… If I were a braves fan.

No one wants Puig, which is why he’s still a Dodger.
Good move by the Braves–Chipper is the face of the franchise and seems to be a great guy. And he’s obviously a Hall of Famer. I knew nothing about John Hart before the launch of MLB Network but since then I have been seriously impressed.
