Dodgers and Indians talking big trade

[BCVM22]

According to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, the Dodgers and Indians are in serious discussions about a trade that would send Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez to the Dodgers for a package including either Clayton Kershaw or Chad Billingsley. James Loney would also be involved.

 

That would do a lot for the Dodgers lineup, if not their rotation too.

Great deal for the Indians if it happens. A solid young pitcher, Loney, + prospects.

Billingsley is a stud. If I'm the Indians I would be all for this.

4:31pm: Kevin Baxter of the LA Times quotes a Dodgers executive saying there is "less than zero truth" to the rumors regarding the trade.

 

4:26pm: Rosenthal now says that both clubs have "strongly denied" the previous reports that the teams were in serious talks about Martinez and Lee.

 

Rosenthal says the clubs are talking, but the question now, becomes: about what? The Dodgers have had interest in Lee, but including Martinez is a new development, if it's true.

 

The names in previous reports have surfaced in talks, but club officials say that trade is not currently in the works.

 

Seemed like a good deal for the Indians to me.

Yeah it would be great for the Indians. Helps the Dodgers this year but long-term that's an expensive deal.

james loney kinda sucks.

[17 Seconds]

that helps the dodgers this year but i dont think that's a very good trade for them long term at all. i think it would be pretty bad actually.

james loney kinda sucks.

 

I wouldn't mind him getting out of our league just because I can't stand seeing him after his homer last October.

[Mike Aller]

It would be nice, but it's still disappointing to see us groom and raise studs only to have to trade them away when they become elite players because our team sucks. :(

james loney kinda sucks.

My 2006 Baseball Mogul team would beg to differ.

Will Cliff Lee be that much better than Kershaw or Billingsley this year and next? To the tune of $8 MM better next year?
