The Dodgers acquire Blake to save their season

Okay, let me try this one again. For the Tribe, it's clearly retooling time as they get set to see if it's next year or beyond that they're going to wait for. The younger prospect that they acquired in this deall looks like a good return.

For the Dodgers...Blake seems a little redundant. But then, redundant veteran players make Ned Colletti happy. To be fair, Blake's a good supersub who can play 3B or the outfield with equal "adequacy" and who has some pop. What with the thoroughly mediocre NL West, clearly this is the key acquisition for their world series run.

Fixed.

I was reading something else about the Braves and I guess I had Atlanta on the brain.

Hey hey

The only thing that could be better is getting Randy Wolf to save your season, damn those Astros and their thinking ahead of curveness!

Really good deal for Cleveland

Blake is a decent enough player, but Meloan has major upside as a reliever, and Santana appears to be a pretty decent catching prospect.

Excellent deal

for Cleveland apparently LA is giving away prospects for mediocre veterans. So maybe TPJ for Andy LaRoche? Colletti might take that deal. It’s sad that Andy LaRoche is becoming LA’s version of Justin Huber, when he has much more talent. I’m going with Colletti as the next GM fired if the Dodgers don’t make the playoffs.
