Trade Rumors
Well, the All-Star game is over, so the rumors are beginning to mount.
1) Cesar Izturis for a starting pitcher. This would require promoting Andy LaRoche. Many in the Dodgers organization support the idea, but Ned Colletti doesn;t like putting so much pressure on rookies to sink or swim.
2) Rumors had previously surface that Toby Hall was unhappy and asked for a trade. Ned Colletti has denied this.
3) Dontrelle Willis, Barry Zito and Livan Hernandez. All three are rumored to be available for the right price. Question is: What is the RIGHT price? Florida has talked to the Dodgers about Willis, but they seemed to want Matt Kemp, which the Dodgers seem to have made untouchable by not even entertaining the idea. Barry Zito may end the year in Oakland as the A's are sure to be in the mix and with injuries surrounding others in their rotation. Lizan hernandez may be the cheapest, but is he even worth it?
4) Soriano. I don't know why, but the Dodgers continue to be mentioned as suitors for Soriano.
5) Nomar Garciaparra. Nomar isn't worried about an extension right now, and just wants to do what he loves-- play baseball. He has indicated that he wants to remain in Los Angeles though.
6) Greg Maddux. Maddux has reportedly okayed a potential trade to the Dodgers, if the Dodgers make an offer.
