The Dodgers just invested an absolute ton of money for Puig. If they deal him, it would be for an established star-level player - most likely a pitcher. Basically the only way I see him being moved in the next year is if David Price is involved.

Basically the only way I see him being moved in the next year is if David Price is involved. I don't disagree, but it will be interesting to see what they end up doing with him. Isn't their outfield locked up for, like, the next century? Also, with Kershaw, Billingsley, Greinke, Beckett, and Ryu (Capuano, Harang, Lilly...) I'm not sure that they'd necessarily be looking for a pitcher at this point. If Puig gets dealt I think an infielder (or two) makes the most sense.

I agree that these criticisms may be right, but the Dodgers did just give us two great pitching prospects while taking on three big contracts. They have a huge budget, a huge payroll, and probably either Punto or Hairston or a very grumpy and/or gimpy Hanley Ramirez at 3b. I suppose my idea would be more likely if it looks like Puig is not quite ready, but the Dodgers have a chance to win it all.

Good SP prospect a year or two away, good MI and a C or 3B some type of combination of a couple or even phew of those players. Rarely do prospects get traded for prospects even in a 1 on 1 swap. No one in that OF of theres is going any were an A-Gone is maning first. Puig will be dealt but they will eathier undersell him at the deadline in desperation or try an swap him for a couple good prospects. Id offer Owens an Swihart or Workman and Coyle. Doubt eathier gets a deal done but if you offered Owens and Coyle or Owens and Checcini you would have then interested.

The Dodgers aren't trading a guy they just signed to a big deal, who looks like he can play. Why would they even consider trading Puig and then down grading prospects on top of it. If by some freakish miracle of stupidity that Puig is available, it'd take Xander +++ to get it done .... This whole thread is pretty silly

They Will trade him because they have no were for him to play. They are the type of team who would sell him cheaper then many think he is worth at the deadline for a avg player because they are that type of team to reach on a desperation move. Cecchini and Owens/Ranuado would most certainly be anuff imo.

This. Andre Ethier is a valuable player who happens to be signed for three years longer than he should. He has averaged about 3 WAR per season and is being paid around 16 million per season, which is slightly more than what a 30 year old three win player should be getting paid for a long term contract, so it is not like that he is some sort of unmovable albatross. If we really wanted to get Puig, we could offer the Dodgers Ellsburry and also eat the entirety of Ethier's contract, but I do not really see that being quite enough, the Dodgers have the finacial resources to work a deal where they A) keep their best prospect and B) possibly get a prospect or two back with some value.

Once I saw Drew and Puig in the same sentence, even as a 'long shot' this thread lost credibility. I actually might take a trip down to go see him this month.

exactly...... what I said still stands Except for the fact that you said that for Dodger's to trade Puig, that they would want Xander+++++. That was what I believe Beasley was describing as silly. The Dogers could be convinced to move Puig, but they would want either am established, legitimately good starting pitcher, or someone they view as a major upgrade up up this middle (2B, SS, CF). They are not going to trade Puig for prospects, and I'd really like everyone to try to think of the last time two organizations made a prospect swap. There are reasons why those trades, even in the instances when they make sense (Taveras for Profar), rarely ever happen. Of course talk about how WMB or Stephen Drew, or a package of Salem players could entice LA is even more ridiculous.

Fair enough, my main point wasn't so much that the Dodgers would want prospects, it was that IF they wanted prospects it would be extremely expensive. I agree for the most part, if they were going to trade Puig (which they aren't) , it would be for a top flight starter or if they have an injury a top flight replacement.

If the Dodgers ate a LARGE chunk of the contract and didn't want much in return I'd do it. Maybe similar to what the Angels did with Wells (even though Ethier has more value than Wells theoretically). The problem is that the outfield would start to look pretty crowded, maybe the Dodgers would take Gomes back It depends if Victorino is gonna make a habit of this injury thing.

Why does this thread exist? Calling it a fantasy would be an understatement. In fairness, it looked SLIGHTLY less ridiculous when it was started. The Dodgers do have an outfield logjam, though. Maybe we can trade for Crawford and get them to eat the contract.

Puig is doing terrible and getting benched. He could be a great change of scenery candidate and buy low opportunity. Really tough to sell a guy with such a high ceiling so low, but could be worth exploring.
