Colletti; Reluctant to Trade Prospects

No team manager has failed to think about the good of his players, especially when it comes to trading them to other teams.

Just like LA Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti, who said that more than an unwillingness to compromise his team’s future, has prevented him from trading for a middle-of-the-order bat or top-of-the-rotation arm. Because the deals discussed to date would cost the Dodgers multiple major leaguers, he said, they would also compromise the present. “Whether they're young players or established veterans, if you don't have suitable replacements, it doesn't matter if they're 23 or 33,” said Ned Colletti.

Moreover, from today to Wednesday, Ned Colletti as well as other Dodgers executives will be searching for more agreeable proposals during the winter meetings at the Opryland Hotel. Colletti and Manager Joe Torre strongly suggested last week that if the right deal can’t be found, they would be comfortable heading into spring training with a club short on experience. Ned Colletti, who would not have Joe Torre at his side at the meetings, admitted he would be less unwilling to part with his club’s prized young players if he had adequate replacements in hand. However, there are few such candidates on the free-agent market, and those who are come with hefty price tags. The top prizes that include Alex Rodriguez, Torii Hunter and Mike Lowell, already signed elsewhere. And the two center fielders who interest the Dodgers, Andruw Jones as well as Aaron Rowand, are asking for more than the club is willing to pay. “We have an understanding of what they want to do, what they think they should be paid and for how long,” Ned Colletti stated. “We aren't at the same places.”

If Aaron Rowand and Andruw Jones don’t scale back their demands, the team of Dodgers could turn their attention to Mike Cameron, who will sit out the first 25 games of next season for testing positive for a banned stimulant. Whether the addition of a center fielder would make Ned Colletti comfortable enough to part with the likes of Matt Kemp remains to be seen. The LA Dodgers are among the teams interested in Florida Marlins third baseman Miguel Cabrera, but the Marlins asked them for a package that included Kemp, first baseman James Loney and top pitching prospect Clayton Kershaw. According to a baseball source, the Marlins have no intention of backing down on their demands.

Furthermore, Dodgers have also found the asking prices for left-handers Johan Santana of the Twins and Erik Bedard of the Orioles to be too high. Making a deal for Johan Santana less likely is that his contract expires at the end of the 2008 season and he has a full no-trade clause, which means he would probably have to be signed to a long-term extension. The extension would probably be for six years and be worth around $20 million per season. Los Angeles will probably ask the Oakland Athletics this week about Dan Haren or Joe Blanton, with Santana and Bedard likely out of their price range.

In addition, the LA Dodgers haven't shown strong interest in any free-agent starting pitchers other than Japanese right-hander Hiroki Kuroda, who on Friday declared his intentions to leave his homeland to pitch in the majors. The team was interested in re-signing left-hander Randy Wolf at a reduced rate after they paid $500,000 to buy out his $9-million option for next season, but not enough to move as quickly as Wolf wanted. Wolf, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, has agreed to the terms of a one-year deal with the team of Padres that will reportedly pay him a base salary of $4 million and an additional $5 million if he meets all of his incentives. Relief pitching is a need that could be addressed on the open market. According to Ned Colletti, he is not expecting to have to fill a hole at second base; the general manager spoke to Jeff Kent last week and remains convinced he will return. Kent stated at the end of last season that he might forgo his $9-million salary and retire. ”If he doesn't come back, we'll have another player or two,” said Ned Colletti. “But I don't foresee that.”

No one really knows what will happen to the LA Dodgers, but one thing is for sure; the team will continue to give their best shots to win their games for the upcoming season.
