Trade Urias for Machado, if they'd take Urias. Machado wont be that cheap. The Birdies will want at least another high ranked prospect, maybe Jerren Kendell? I really wish they would make this trade for Machado. Can’t see it happening, but it sure would be a heluva big deal getting this team on its way up the standings. Only deals I honestly expect is more along the lines of the pitcher they just picked up from Seattle after they dumped him. Doesn’t hurt to dream a little I guess... |

I’d love it if they did, but I wouldn’t classify anything they’ve done at the deadline a “big trade”, barring maybe Darvish from last year. He’s not quite on the level of a trade of this magnitude IMO. |

It's looking more likely Kershaw's days are numbered with us and we're without Ryu as it is, and we need all the horses we can get at this point. IF we're that desparate, I'd say, Mitch White. Urias is supposed to join us in July and Santana might debut for us next April. |

Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Throws bullpen session
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Kershaw (biceps) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
This marks an important step in the rehab process for Kershaw, who had been limited to flat-ground throwing. According to Pedro Moura of The Athletic Los Angeles, Kershaw will throw at least one more mound session before making a start "somewhere." It seems more likely than not that Kershaw will require a minor-league rehab start before returning to the Dodgers' rotation.

I think there are 2 issues at play here: 1. IF (again - IF), we haven't turned it around by the trade deadline, do we trade Kershaw? I think if Kershaw has rebounded and is effective, then yes. If we aren't going to play in October and it's clear Kershaw is playing well enough that he is very likely to opt out, you have to trade him. It's premature to assume we will be sellers, however. 2. Do we try to sign him to a long-term contract if he opts out? Much harder decision (and possible even if we trade him away). I've been lit up a bit for raising this question. I think there is some value in legacy, so going above what the FO is comfortable on performance projections alone is worthwhile. But how much above? 1. No, I don't see that happening, the fan base would explode. 2. This is the real question. Legacy is important. It may be a smarter choice to let him go and spend the money elsewhere. Tough choice. I think if we don't have a chance of the playoffs (seemingly less likely) AND we wouldn't resign him - you almost have to trade him. |

Those clauses could complicate matters if Kershaw decides NOT to opt out.

He's also soon to be a 5-10 player, sometime in June I believe, so he would have to approve any trade. I don't see a Kershaw trade happening... and we are going to be in the race anyway. |

I agree. If he decides to not opt out this is a bad deal for the Dodgers. If he voids the trade I assume we would have to give back whoever we got. Basically we would be getting about ten million dollars in salary relief for the 2018 season. That's if the team we're dealing with takes on his remaining salary in it's entirety. I would insist on that if I were the Dodgers. You're getting a Hall of Fame pitcher for a relatively paltry sum. We probably wouldn't get a lot in return, because of those clauses & his status as a 5 & 10 year player.

Manager Dave Roberts alluded to Kershaw returning from the disabled list in his morning interview Sunday, but the Dodgers' President of Baseball Operations, Andrew Friedman, went as far as to confirm the fact that Kershaw will start Thursday shortly after. The southpaw will pick things up with a 2.86 ERA over his first 44 innings this season.
