Omg a team asked for Ethier! And he wasn’t taken there in a white chariot along with a streaming banner overhead proclaiming THANK YOU?!
wilymo
there’s no details of the offer, though. maybe they asked for him if the dodgers kept paying his entire salary

Last season you think it crazy to ask for him. Not so much now since he showed he had a bat. As long as you keep him away from leftys ethier will be fine

What are the Orioles going to do with Ethier?
He is NOT the answer for the Orioles!
Carlos Gonzalez would be answer and a great PR Move.!

Gausman’s their best pitcher now. Can’t imagine trading him for 2 years of Cargo. Unless they can get Chen back.
wilymo
play him in right field? ethier is a good player who had a good year last year.
espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/position/of/sort/O…
of all MLB OF with 400 PA, ethier was 13th in OPS. 12 whole points behind cargo, who was hitting in coors field. and he’d cost a lot less in talent to acquire.

Dodgers shouldn’t trade ethier now unless they have a plan in mind. Since Crawford useless and they just traded a young prospect. They could use Hernandez more but we might need him at 2nd more

The Dodgers did not trade a young prospect OF. They traded a guy who will shuttle back and forth between AAA and the Majors for a few years. What’s more, they got back Trayce Thompson, who’s a better outfielder (though still far from a sure thing) and fits on their roster better.
mrshyguy99
Yea but that if they keep Thompson. I ki d of like the player we traded dude did show some pop. Didn’t he have like 2 or 3 hr when he was called up last season

i don’t think anything new happened with brantley’s shoulder. heyman’s phrasing is awkward and terrible, but i think he was just talking about the surgery brantley had, which we’ve all known about for months..

I guess it makes sense that the Padres are not getting a lot of offers for Shields. Nevertheless, there’s still a lot of time left in the offseason.
greatd
He’s got a lot of money tied to him + he’s coming off a down year.
Enough reasons to scare a lot of teams off.
redking
They should hold onto Shields hoping for a better year and trade him at the deadline.
greatd
Seems like the Marlins want to give everyone extensions lol.

Holiday at first base may actually be a good plan… I like it, but hope his power returns!

The Oriole roster is so fragile right now, any player another team would want just creates another hole. They should really consider moving Adam Jones for a prospect haul IMO.
