Andre Ethier Trade Watch

[HammerDown]

When will it happen? Some new stuff on MLB Trade Rumors tonight.

Three rival general managers tell CBS Sports' Jon Heyman that the Dodgers would have to eat at least half of Andre Ethier's contract in order to trade the outfielder, or take on a bad contract in return. Ethier is a little over two months into a five-year, $85MM contract extension with the team but he has struggled this season and fallen out of favor with manager Don Mattingly.

As reported in January, the Mariners contacted the Dodgers about Ethier though "that never got past a couple-minutes chat," according to Heyman.

I stated in another thread that I feel like Boston is going to be a trade partner again...Ethier for Middlebrooks and we eat half the contract.

I think the owners will do anything to get a winner at this point.

I keep hearing his name thrown around in rumors surrounding the Mets. We have a ton of young arms that we can deal but I really don't want any part of Ethier, even if you guys were to eat a sizeable portion of his contract. Depending on who the Mets gave up, should I be cautious, angry, excited? Can't say I know enough about him.

After last night, I would trade him for just about anything coming out of the bullpen with proven success!

You want Marmol????

Trade Ethier and Kemp. In fact. Send Gordon, Sellers, Cruz, Urine, Fedcrap, Heranandez and most of the bullpen with them.

My post was 2 hours after yours (the news broke earlier than that, but I was at work), I put a big post about the bone scan he was having the night before your post.

You're welcome, anyway!
