Industry sources; Dodgers? strategy to acquire Price and Tanaka - GammonsDaily.com
Gammons must have lost his mind. If we sign Tanaka, why would we acquire Price as well? Would that not defeat the purpose of signing Tanaka? We simply cannot trade away Pederson, Urias and Seager for Price. If Ned does it, he should be fired. That would gut our farm system completely.
If they want Stripling, Anderson and Santana, then I would do it. There is no reason to have 5 aces on the staff. If 3 of the 5 were from the farm system like the Cards, great, but we can't trade and sign 4 other aces on the staff. We still have a few holes to fill like 3rd. I think Gammons and others make up this crap to see if it sticks. Here is what I would do:
1. Re-sign Kershaw.
2. Sign Tanaka to a 5 or 6 year deal.
3. Sign Jhonny Peralta to play 3rd. Sign him to a 2 year contract so that Seager can continue in the Minors.
4. Re-sign JP Howell to a 1 year deal.
5. Attempt to sign Wilson. If he walks and wants a closer role, sign Jesse Crain or Grant Balfour to a 2 year year.
6. Attempt to trade Andre Either.
7. Fill in bench roles as necessary.
And one of the most important things....get our players HEALTHY!!!!
That is what I would do. I think if we did those things, we are looking at a World Series run. Of course it would take a boat load of money, but if they want to spend, so be it.
