Dodgers Close To Acquiring Victorino
By Tim Dierkes [July 31 at 8:51am CST]

The latest:

•A Dodgers-Victorino trade is looking very likely, tweets Heyman. ESPN's Jayson Stark tweets that the Dodgers are close to acquiring Victorino for Lindblom and a second player.

Really? That they were trying to pickup Soriano in the Dempster deal. So Reds are out?

 

[WaxPax]

The first, but certainly not last of the trade deadline frenzy....

Bullpen help won't make a bit of difference for the Phillies for the balance of this year. But there is no denying we'll need an overhauled bullpen for next year. All things considered, getting anything for Victorino is a win at this point since our season is over.

I hope not.....he's a punk!

He's a pretty good actor.

Not bad at baseball either.

Dom Brown has been scratched from his start at Lehigh with word that he's coming up

It would be nice if he could actually produce for once.

It would be nice if he could actually produce for once.

It would be even nicer if they gave him the chance to do so before sending him back down for the umpteenth time.

Agreed. However, he's playing in Philadelphia and as everyone knows, you better produce or we'll let you know it. I'm hoping for the best for Brown. I really want to see some our younger guys succeed for once.

Hmmm. Now this card will finally make sense.

 

[BowmanChromeAddict]

Bye bye Vic. Helloooo Dom!

 

[batman1]

I think philly fans want victorino out anyway, I hope brown produces too. Anybody have any insight on kyrell hudson for phillies?....I think he's in aa

 

[HPC]

Aside from Michael Young, Victorino might be the most overrated-underrated-overrated guy...amirite

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Phillies fans don't want Vic gone. However, we know we can't resign him next year, so if we can get something of value for him now... all the better.

 

[IndyKMB]

Gonna miss seeing Victorino in a Phillies uni, almost as much as I miss hearing Harry Kalas say his name, but I know it's time and makes sense.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Ethan Martin.

 

[markakis8]

Wow Ethan Martin in the deal as well.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

And Lindblom, of course...

 

[wlalocal71]

Lindblom and Martin superfractors will be listed on ebay in 3,2,1.....
