What would it take to pry Rafael Furcal away from LA?

[rawaction]

I think on one hand, the Dodgers were really disappointed in Furcal's 2007 season and would love to get rid of him. But on the other hand, in 2008, he'll be in a contract year. If Furcal was signed for another season, I think he would completely be on the block and probably not for much more than the Roberts offer. But at this point, I think the Dodgers will just hope he turns it around in his quest for another big pay day.

Q: What would it take to pry Rafael Furcal away from LA?

 

A: I think it would take 2 things (assuming they're going with an in-house replacement at SS):

- take Juan Pierre off their hands

- give them back a 3B

 

If Crede can show he's healthy, I'd still like to see a deal where the Dodgers give Pierre, Furcal and some cash to the Sox for Crede, and then the Sox flip either Cabrera or Furcal to the Cubs for prospects.

That only works if Konerko goes to LAA...otherwise no room for Swisher and Quentin. So far, all of the sox moves have been "win now" moves. I really only see them trading Crede for whoever they can get.

I can see a situation in which the Dodgers aren't in contention and Furcal has a banner year turning into a nice midseason trade for some team.

Sean Marshall can help a team right away and the Cubs don't seem to want him anyway.
