2020 Off-Season Rumors/News

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

"and that the Dodgers deem the trade "unnecessary" after completing a modified version of the Mookie Betts deal "

The trade of Pederson and Stripling was to get the Dodgers under the salary cap. Since the Betts trade was redone and the Dodgers had to pay 10 million to the Twins in the Maeda trade, trading them now does not get them under the cap so they are likely to keep them.
 
Who do you think gets the boot from the 40 man to make room for him? Greg Allen?
Seems possible.
There also appears to be a number of Utility INF guys still on the roster (Arroyo/ Chang/ Velazquez).
Depending on roster rules, perhaps they can shift Naquin over to the 60 day IL and get that clock moving..
 
Kipnis taking a minor league contract with the Cubs.
yep. Not 8M a year. Minor league deal.
 

The dude who originally broke the Santana news says he passed his physical.
My guess is they're delaying announcing the signing in order to finalize who will be cut from the 40-man roster.
DFAing Greg Allen seems to be the most logical move.
