« on: July 31, 2004, 07:31 PM »A flurry of deals today, the biggest being the Dodgers/Marlins deal. Very suprised that the Dodgers dealt LoDuca, who I consider to be the heart of their squad. They must really be confident that they can land Randy Johnson. Supposed Unit is going to sleep on the deal to LA.
I don't think there's a team on the planet that wouldn't deal Lo Duca for Brad Penny anyhow; regardless of whether it turns into a 1/2 year of the Unit or not.
That's debatable. The LA Times was filled with articles today about how the Dodger players were stunned that Lo Duca was dealt. He was the heart of the team. The Dodgers brass better hope these deals don't ruin the team's chemistry, especially now that Charles Johnson vetoed the trade from Colorado and the Unit deal falling through. Penny definitely upgrades their staff, but now they have no catcher. The West is so weak they should still make it out of there.
I'm SO happy that Nomar is out of Boston. I wish him well with the Cubbies.
