A Look At The Dodgers, Padres Failed Blockbuster
The Padres may have pulled off one blockbuster deal when they sent former Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy to the White Sox, but according to John Heyman of SI.com, the Padres were also talking to the Dodgers about an even bigger blockbuster that ultimately failed to go through.
Lets have a look at the proposed deal.
Dodgers:
1B- Adrian Gonzalez
RHP- Heath Bell
Padres:
1B- James Loney
C- Russel Martin
2B- Blake DeWitt
RHP- James McDonald
SS- Ivan DeJesus
Now as we know this deal never went through, so in the end it's all a moot point, but considering we're winding down on the evening I thought it would be fun to listen to the debate over this proposed deal.
Good deal? Bad deal?
Let's hear what you guys think.

I wonder if this was a real deal
Or just Heyman blowing smoke. That would have been one crazy trade.

If it happened
As a Dodgers fan, pissed or happy?

I think talent wise it’s a huge win for the dodgers. However besides a pretty huge bullpen upgrade, what does this trade do for them? They have the NL West essentially locked down and don’t lack hitting at all with Mann, Kemp, and Ethier in the lineup. They would just be creating a hole at C. As the Tex trade last year proved acquiring a big time hitter guarantees you nothing in the playoffs, it’s all about who’s hot. He (a-gon) certainly makes them the favorites through 2012 though and if they extended him it’s a huge win. I can’t imagine the Pads would settle for this though, no Elbert, Ethan Martin, or Lindbolm? I’d insist on adding two of those to the offer that Heyman said was on the table

I agree
that deal just doesn’t scream, “Three times the asking price for Halladay!” to me.
Pete Rose was actually banned from baseball for teaching Jeff Francoeur how to play. He made up the gambling stuff to hide his shame.

Would be a blockbuser deal
Dodgers would get a good boost from him, howver it would have cost the dodgers too much. Would have benifites both teams very much, but the padres did enough seling this deadline, there fans are bound to be mad at the front ofice for trading away fan favorities, hopefuly the padres get ne ownership so their fanss don’t have to suffer much more of selling and losing
