Tomas Perez traded to the Dodgers

[ToupeeOnFire]

Hendry must be quite the salesman, first Neifi, now this...

 

In a minor league trade, the Dodgers acquired former major league infielder Tomas Perez from the Chicago Cubs for future considerations. Perez, 33, is expected to be the backup middle infielder at triple-A Las Vegas, where prospect Tony Abreu is slated to play shortstop.

Awesome. Now we don't have to worry about seeing him on the team this season.

[Andy]

If Hendry acquired someone who is currently alive, this is a fantastic deal.

[Roast]

Future considerations? Sounds like next time Hendry is in LA, the dodgers GM will buy him a doughnut or something.

 

All in all, its a solid deal.

Alive as in Tomas Perez in 5 weeks when he's the future considerations?

Thanks again Gerald Perry.

If his last name is Ethier or Kemp - all the better.

Huzzah!

As good as Ethier and Kemp are or are going to be, do we really need more outfielders?

Wow, what a buzzkill :P

There's no such thing as too much of a good thing.

I don't see the point of trading for a 33 year old veteran to back up your middle IF in AAA. :?

Ah, to ponder what we could have gotten for Maddux had Hendry demanded prospects instead of Izturis.

Probably not much seeing as he was not at all an "A+" pitcher, and it was only for the later half of the season.

You never know; Colletti isn't a genius...

I don't know... how many teams do you know that are actually in position to get better when players go down to injury?

[Balsa]

Hahaha, excellent.

 

This may top the Neifi! trade.

[A New Era]

Hahaha, excellent.

NOTHING. Could EVER, top the Neifi trade.

[SouthSideRyan]

The Neifi trade got us out of a year+ of Neifi at an absurd rate, while getting an okayish prospect in return. This will likely net cash considerations for somebody who really wasn't costing us much at all. it's no contest.

Goodbye Tomas, we hardly knew you. We wish you well.
