| Our New First Baseman? |
A somewhat fanciful article in the
Los Angeles Times has fueled
a wild trade rumor that would send
Adrian Gonzalez,
Josh Beckett and
Carl Crawford to La-La Land in exchange for under-performing first baseman
James Loney and top Dodger pitching prospects
Rubby De La Rosa and
Allen Webster, along with prime outfield prospect
Jerry Sands. The added allure is the 'deeper than deep' pockets of the new Dodger owners who would be willing to pick up a huge portion of the collective salaries of Gonzo, Carl and Josh. Crazy? Probably. Gonzalez would have to clear waivers and the deal would have to be done—basically—in the next several hours. Don't hold your breath.
