Wow. He's even willing to redo his contract. I can think of a few teams that wouldn't mind adding arod.
A-Rod open to being traded
- Thread starter Francodman
- Start date
Unless they move jeter to third i don't see that happening. I could see the dodgers trading Shawn Green and Izturis tho.
Well give Kevin Brown, Adrian Beltre, Paul Shuey, Darren Driefort and Rickey Henderson for Alex Rodriguez.
The Dodgers are cheap bastards who gave away their only superstar, Gary Sheffield, for two average guys. They're too meek to acquire ARod.
And no team in their right mind would trade for the worthless Shawn Green; sure he had a very solid 2002 campaign but the Dodgers threw dumb money at him (and Dreifort) way before he ever earned it. No wonder Sheffield felt underpaid.

Well I don't know when they're sale officialy goes through to that Tampa Bay Bucs owner, but he likes to spend money. Look what he gave up for Gruden. I'm thinking the Dodgers would need a HUGE bat like A-rod, and they're a big market team. I
<--not an dodgers fan
Shawn Green is our franchise player, I think he is worth the big bucks. He is just having an offseason. Even Sheffield, McGwire, Sosa and Edmonds had bad year.
Anywho, Kevin Brown is not worth keeping. This guy is made of glass, and Driefort is made out of a balloon. These guys are way too injury prone and Dreifort has done nothing, absolutely nothing for us. Oh yeah, Ashby isn't worh squat either. Beltre has no potential. It is time to trade this underachiever. We gave him the opportunity to improve but he sucks.
Please trade for Arod Dodgers, we have an opening in SS.
The only Dodgers that are untouchable are Green, Nomo, LoDuca and Gagne.
I agree with you coldcut. Dreifort has such an amazing job, he gets paid millions to do absolutely nothing. He's had his pitching elbow rebuilt twice, he will never be the pitcher the Dodgers were hoping for. As for Beltre, forget about it. He has never been able to hit and like Paul Konerko, the Dodgers rushed him to the majors before he was ready.
I wouldn't mind trading Jordan if he has any value left. He's an amazing athlete but the guy hasn't played a full season in ages due to injuries.

LMAO the only way Shawn Green could be a franchise player is if he played for Detroit.
Yes I'm being mean, but he's not worth $14 million per, certainly not 3 years ago when the Dodgers threw a mega-deal at him. To mention him in the same breath with Sheffield, McGwire and Sosa is laughable.
The reason that Dodgers are cash-strapped and unwilling to take on payroll is they grossly overpaid for a bunch of average players; now that the management mandate is to go cheap, they have to wait for all those big contracts to run out. It's not like any of those guys, short of a healthy K. Brown, has much trade value. The Dodgers would have to do a Mike Hampton type deal and finance most of the remainder of the contract to get any team to bite.

We don't give Shawn Green enough protection, that is why he is struggling.
Come on, Dodgers have the worst cleanup hitters. Brian Jordan? Fred McGriff? Paul Lo Duca?
Brian Jordan is average, not worth his contract, and pretty useless to us.
Fred McGriff is past his prime two years ago.
Paul LoDuca is more of a #2 batter since he gets mostly singles and is not a power hitter or RBI type of guy.
Jeromy Burnitz is not intimdating, this guy strikes out just as much, he is like Mo Vaughn.
We need a real consistent offensive machine, and Alex Rodriguez fits that bill. He should demand a trade to the Dodgers, I have heard that he has always wanted to play for the Dodgers.

rofl, he's just pissed that he signed onto a team with no chance of going anywhere. The offense is there for the Rangers; however, the pitching, is not. They made no moves in the offseason to acquire any sort of pitching, despite the fact that that was their major sore spot from last season. Saying he's open to being traded = "get me the fvck off".
The only trade that would benefit the Rangers would be to get 2-3 above average starters

Well if Arod would have been smart, he would of resigned with the extremely talented and competitive Seattle Mariners in the first place.
He knew Rangers are not contenders but signed with them anyways because he got a plenty of dough.

I still wonder if the Mets would've been any better had they signed ARod like they were supposed to. On the plus side, it prob. would've meant they'd have no money to waste on guys like Mo Vaughn and Burnitz (who I'll admit, I've grown to like this year, before he was traded). Hell, getting ARod may have motivated Alomar to play like he's capable of playing. We wasted $5mil. on Ordonez fer cryin' out loud, and like $11 mil on Vaughn. Throw in Burnitz, and you'd easily paying the equivalent for ARod, for better production.
The Rangers weren't contenders but they were rebuilding - however, there was one key component we forgot to add during that rebuilding process. The Rangers as a whole are pretty young with the exception of veterans Palmerio and Gonzalez. It's just the fact that the pitching sucks. Park has been a bust and no other pitcher we have at the moment is even worth mentioning.
A-Rod, please come to the Dodgers. Get rid of Green and his lack of emotion and/or hustle. I agree with everyone that said he isn't worth his contract. I don't know why Jim Tracy insists on leaving him 3rd in the order... on any other team he would've been shuffled down. The Dodgers are waiting for something that may never come. Just because Green exploded last year doesn't mean he'll do it again.
Lo Duca would probably be tradeable if it meant A-Rod coming. I'm sure only Nomo and Gagne are untouchable. Though I really like Izturis. He's not even that bad a hitter, not as bad as everyone makes him out to be. He raised his batting average from the left something like 50 points from last year so he's still getting better at switch hitting. Plus, his defense is probably in the top 3 or 4 at SS in baseball.
And as far as the Dodgers being purchased, like 2 days ago there was the news about the Glazer's buying the Dodgers (thank goodness) but they wouldn't take control till after this season. But I'm sure they'd have some say in any trades the Dodgers would make if they've already purchased the Dodgers just like how during the NBA draft there were talks that Jordan was the one who directed the Bucks to draft TJ Ford.
Anyways, get A-Rod. Boo Green. Boo Dan Evans.

See its not just his contract, he has influence over personal as well. And he seems to convince the Rangers of getting alot of bad players that his agent also represents.
