    Dodgers open to trading Dee Gordon.............ughhhhhhh I hope we keep him. He turned it around for us last year. If it happens I think Alex Guerrero moves back to SS and Darwin Barney/Justin Turner split time at 2B if we don't get a SS.

      Yeah, it makes a lot of sense to sign Ross to be Lester's personal caddy and hit LHPs while Montero can frame pitches and mash RHPs.

      Both catchers combined will make $2-3MM less per year than Russell Martin and Montero is left-handed and 6 months younger than Martin.

        Man it seems like peopple hate on the A's no matter what they do... Personally I think they've made some good moves this offseason. Gave themselves more depth and sustainability.

          I never bought for a second that Sabean was going to throw big money and years at Lester. Once it went beyond 5 years, I'm sure they started going heavy with the "we win titles, pitchers ballpark" pitch to get him to take less.

            Oh god I'm scared. I'm starting to become hopeful that we'll pull it off and get Lester to Chicago...It's going to hurt when he spurns us.

              It's eerily quiet all of a sudden...

              Wonder if something's getting done.

                No baseball tweets in the last 29 minutes on twitter...hopefully a few things are in the works and completed in the next hour.

                  I think Cubs: 50%, Red Sox: 40%, Other (Dodgers/Giants/Yankees): 10% is about where it stands on Lester.

                    Didn't see it mentioned but apparently the Bucs are quietly shopping Pedro Alavarez.

                    Haven't seen it anywhere so hearing that was kind of surprising.

                      I think last year was kind of a peak for Dee. I wouldn't trade him just to trade him, but if we get a nice return then yes.

                        Possibly fake tweets at it again. Incarcerated Bob tweeted that a source from IGN was saying Lester has decided to sign with Chicago.

                        Suddenly everyone is saying that WGN tweeted it themselves and then deleted it.

                        Frank Pimental tweeted that it was a done deal but has also since deleted it and has now tweeted an apology, saying the signing has not been made yet.

                            And as soon as he signs the floodgates will open on the other 10 pitchers

                                They are trying to get rid of him while his value is high. Not sure where he would end up. TB, AZ, TOR, NYY (if they don't re-sign Headley), CWS, OAK, WAS. All have pitching we could use. I just don't see it happening, but stranger things have happened.

                                This may very well be a case where the Dodgers are throwing his name out there to see how much teams value him.
