fukk Mattingly for putting Guerra in a save situation in a 1 run game. Just sat there and watched him struggle from the first pitch. If you don't want to use Jansen today fine. But at least try to pitch to matchups instead of giving Guerra the ball by defauly even though he's been super shaky in that role all year. This isn't 2011. Smarten up.

Dodgers, Cubs Have Discussed Soriano, LaHair

By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 27, 2012 at 12:29pm CST]

The Dodgers and Cubs have had some discussions about including Alfonso Soriano or Bryan LaHair in a trade for Ryan Dempster, Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com reports. The Dodgers continue seeking offense as well as pitching, but it’s a definite longshot that they’ll acquire Soriano or LaHair, Knobler writes.

The Cubs are “desperate” to trade Soriano, who earns $18MM per season through 2014. The Cubs have offered to pay almost all of Soriano’s salary, but he’s drawing minimal interest from other teams, according to Knobler. At least one team has checked in on Soriano, who has 19 home runs and a respectable .274/.324/.503 batting line.

Dodgers considering Shields and Johnson with Dempster deal on hold

By Jon Heyman

With the Dodgers and Cubs seemingly at an impasse in Ryan Dempster talks, the Dodgers are looking at Josh Johnson and James Shields as rotation alternatives.

The Dodgers offered a couple pitching prospects for Dempster, but the Cubs were asking for top right-handed pitching prospect Allen Webster, a request the Dodgers rebuffed, CBSSports.com reported Thursday. The Dodgers' offer for Dempster was suggested to be underwhelming. They also have leverage in those talks, as Dempster turned down a deal to the Braves and is believed only willing to go to the Dodgers.

The Dodgers may also take a peek at the coveted Zack Greinke, but Los Angeles generally isn't believed to be enamored of rentals, which may also be what's limiting their offer for Dempster. The Dodgers love Webster, so they may not relent on him. One person with ties to the team called Webster "the best arm in their [farm] system," and suggested he's "major-league ready" now.

Los Angeles, as with other big-market teams, surely sees Shields' $9 million option for 2013 as reasonable (though it's pricey for the low-revenue Rays).

Johnson is drawing plenty of interest, but it's far from a certainty the Marlins trade him.

The Dodgers, seens as baseball's new big spenders, see Cliff Lee's $97 million commitment as onerous, so they won't consider him. (It was reported here the Phillies have no plans to trade Lee, so that point may be moot.)

The Dodgers had Matt Garza as another alternative to Dempster but Garza's tricpes injury has caused his start to be pushed back until later next week, making him a difficult trade candidate.
