Yeah, he signed with Boras, but I still want him
Me too. I hope he can live up to the bill.

3:43pm: The Dodgers are no longer willing to pay Guerrero $32MM and may not pursue him at all, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Rosenthal notes that the team's position may merely be strategic; they could be backing off that number simply so Boras doesn't use that as a baseline when negotiating with other clubs.
I've always liked Johnson, too, so I wouldn't mind having him if that's how things work out.
I agree that Tampa Bay will probably pick up Zobrist's option, but I'd love seeing Zobrist wearing Dodger blue.
It appears that the pickings are pretty slim as far as FA 2B and 3B go, with the exception of Cano, so it seems more and more likely that the Dodgers may stay in house and re-sign Uribe and Ellis. That wouldn't be such a bad thing.
& if they can also resign young i wouldn't mind he can play almost all infield positions & it would be a nice back up insurance since M. Ellis also tends to get injured alot along with Uribe over the last 2-3 years. I dont think this is a bad opition staying in the safe house like you said & besides they already know everyone in the club house & Uribe is fun to have. Maybe next season he could stay healthy again & have a AVG 270. 15HR 75+RBI type of season
They will not, nor SHOULD not, look at anything else until Kershaw is locked up. I would love this Guerrero kid, but we should not pay him a penny more than the $32 agreed to already. I would love Kelly Johnson for a year or 2, but not longer than that and no more than $10 million for 2 years.
Personally, I really want Michael Young back for another year. Seager will be ready to play 3B in 2015 and if Uribe decides to get greedy, Young can play there for a year. If we get Uribe back (can't believe I just said that), Young is a valuable utility guy and veteran presence in the locker room.
