It’s that time of year again. When baseball’s general managers frantically call eachother looking for a trade that will drive their team into the playoffs. A time when battles for divisions are either down to the wire or teams are far in front. Even a time when Paul LoDuca and Guierrmo Mota sit in the Dodger clubhouse before a battle with the second place Padres crying.
A questionable move by first year Dodger GM Paul Depodesta sent lights out set up pitcher Mota, right fielder Encarnacion and Dodger fan favorite and all star catcher Paul LoDuca to the Florida Marlins. All this for starting pitcher Brad Penny, first baseman Hee Seop Choi and a minor league pitcher. Say it ain’t so Depodesta, say it ain’t so.
