Blockbuster Dodger Deal?
SET UP TO WIN
The thought whether or not trading away Dee Gordon was a great move is now obvious! I'm not saying Howie Kendrick was a bad pick up, on the contrary. Howie did what was asked of him and he delivered! But.... you can't argue against a Silver Slugger and Gold Glove, Stolen bade title (58) and a great lead off hitter (.333). The entire reason for trading him away was for lack of a better term "to get better defensively" and "win now". Front Office didn't have the vision or patience to take a chance on what eventually turned to be a mistake trade and a costly one, like Pedro Martinez, so far. I for one am proud and glad Dee had an amazing season and succeeded. The problem here is that Howie was an expensive 1 year experimental loan. A trade scenario I set up could be a huge blockbuster deal that could propel the Dodgers directly into being contenders, the champions and title holders for the next decade, through youth, experience and proven success.
THE SCENARIO
First, sign Howie Kendrick. Flip and package him up with Yasiel Puig, Carlos Frias and Yimi Garcia for Dee Gordon and Jose Fernandez. If need be, sign Yoenis Cespedes and/or Jason Heyward, add 1 of them in the mix for Giancarlo Stanton. If also need be, pay for partial salary on Howie/Puig/Cespedes or Heyward, It's not like the Dodgers haven't payed athletes salaries to play for another team (Kemp/Haren/Wilson).Worst case scenario Heyward or Cespeded plays right or left field for the Dodgers.
Dodgers receive: Dee Gordon / Jose Fernandez / Giancarlo Stanton
Marlins receive: Howie Kendrick/ Yasiel Puig / Carlos Frias / Yimi Garcia and* Yoenis Cespedes* or Jason Heyward*
These are all hopefuls.
Hopefully Ethier follows up his 2015 career revival both defensively and offensively and play him in left.
Hopefully Joc Pederson can re-adjust to the pitchers that adjusted to him mid season, and hit between .280 and .290 with 30 homeruns. Along with his stellar defense in Center.
And Hopefully Giancarlo stays healthy to play at least 140 games hit between .270 - .280 with 35 - 40 Homeruns
Worst case scenario would be signing either a young Jason Heyward, keeping him and he repeats his 2015 .293 batting average and lock down defense in Right Field.
Or the veteran Yoenis Cespedes and he repeats his 2015 season of .291 with 35 Homeruns and cannon arm in Left Field.
THE MAIN PRIORITY should be re-signing Zack Greinke! With a rotation of Kershaw / Greinke/ Ryu / Fernandez / McCarthy and Possibly acquiring another starting pitcher whether it is Jose Fernandez or not, a David Price, Scott Kazmir or a surprise pick up, adding depth to the starting rotation would be great!
