Dodgers In Serious Talks For Victorino
By Tim Dierkes [July 31 at 8:27am CST]
Roughly 9% of you feel that Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino will be the biggest name dealt today. The latest:
The Dodgers are in serious talks for Victorino, reports Heyman. The Phillies have been asking for relievers.
The Reds and Phillies have ceased talks on Victorino and Juan Pierre, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, putting the Dodgers in a good position for Victorino.
Potential Phillies target Josh Lindblom became more expendable for the Dodgers after the team acquired Brandon League from the Mariners, wrote Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports early this morning. Lindblom, 25, has a 3.02 ERA, 8.1 K/9, 3.4 BB/9, 1.70 HR/9, and 38% groundball rate in 47 2/3 relief innings this year, so he's had some issues with the longball.
