Rumors

  • Greg Maddux said, “No” to the Padres about accepting a trade to the Phillies. He wants to stay in West Coast team and a contending team and the Dodgers is still is #1 choice.
  • Dodgers called the Cubs about acquiring SS Cedeno and RP Eyre. ~Really?? Cedeno is not an upgrade, Pass!~
  • Dodgers are also interested in Indians SP Byrd. Byrd has $2.7 mil left in his contract and is 4.93 ERA in 20 starts. ~I rather acquire Maddux.~

 

Blake

One day after his eighth-inning ejection of Casey Blake for complaining about a check-swing strike call, umpire Greg Gibson called the Dodgers third baseman “a class act” and said there was no lingering animosity. ~Blake is a great pickup, he has a underrated glove, with clutch batting (i dont mind him striking out 3x as long as he produces when it counts *cough* andruw jones *cough*)
