Buzz: Dodgers Don’t Seek Broxton Trade
According to the LA Times, Dodgers GM Ned Colletti told reporters that he does not have any interest in trading 23-year-old RHP Jonathan
Broxton, who is considered the team’s best young pitcher.
In 165 relief apparances during his three-year career, Broxton has a 2.98 ERA while striking out 218 batters throughg 172 innings.
Broxton will earn the league minumum next season, after which he is eligible for salary arbitration.
Colletti is also ‘re-examining’ OF Matt Kemp, whom he declined to trade to Florida in a potential deal for 3B Miguel Cabrera.
The paper states he is beginning to think his young players can fill immediate holes in his roster, either now or in the near future, such as center field and starting pitcher.
Lastly, Colletti said the Dodgers are no closer to making a deal with Baltimore for LHP Erik Bedard.
…so now the Blue Jays are looking elsewhere, and the dodgers are reconsidering dealing the parts it would require to get bedard…a ray of hope for the Mets, perhaps…
