Or will they do anything? They may not have to but there is a lot of egos to please and it just seems like it is affecting team chemistry

They may not be able to do anything without eating a significant portion of the big contracts for Eithier/Kemp (whose performances are declining)

Making things more interesting is I understand they have a couple of young guys like Peterson in AAA that should be promoted but they don't have a spot for them

Thoughts?

Trade Crawford or Kemp for pitching. Then try to find somebody after the deadline to bring in as a bat utility guy.

I suppose they are willing to eat significant portions of those contracts then? Otherwise I don't see a team being willing to make that trade

The issue is other teams know the Dodgers are stuck with 5 OF that are everyday guys. So the value is down.

I mean nobody will jump after one of the Dodger OF unless it is an emergency. The Dodgers imo, have no leverage right now.

Probably won't do anything. None of them are worth much other than Puig, who they won't trade. It seems as though they really aren't willing to trade any of them which is a shame, Because they all deserve to be starters somewhere.

With the money they're paying all three they'd have to eat a significant portion just to get a B or C grade prospect

110% correct. I agree. The Dodgers are just going to have to deal with the 4-5 OFs they have at least for the rest of the season.

I'm just glad I don't have to play with them on the show, having to leave a couple of those guys on the bench would drive me crazy
