July 14, 200321 yr I know the Dodgers wanted to improve their horrible offense but is he really the guy to do it? Who did they give up? Thurston, Chen, Coyler? Any of these guys?
July 14, 200321 yr They haven't said about the details yet. It was an announcement ala the Everett Chicago deal, 11th hour and info just recieved.
July 14, 200321 yr The Dodgers will have to give up at least one Outfielder in this deal. Well at least when we play the Mets we should have an easier time winning . Not much offense on that team.
July 14, 200321 yr Burnitz's agent just confirmed the deal, hes already taken his picture in Dodger Blue.
July 14, 200321 yr I have a feeling the Benitez deal is already done, they are just waiting until after the break to announce it. Here is the link to the article.....http://espn.go.com/mlb/news/2003/0714/1580617.html
July 14, 200321 yr Man Burnitz would've looked good in teal. I hate to see him go to the dodgers too because I think he's going to help them a lot.
July 15, 200321 yr I did, as did some others on the forum. Since it was mroe than one person, also including myself, the word we is warranted
July 15, 200321 yr we did?   who is we? holy crap, das is that nobody who won the world series of poker! :blink:
July 15, 200321 yr we did?   who is we? holy crap, das is that nobody who won the world series of poker! :blink: i am impressed
July 15, 200321 yr The MSG Network (Official TV Home of the New York Mets) is reporting that they have confirmed a trade of Burnitz to The Dodgers for 3 prospects.
July 15, 200321 yr I get the Dodgers newsletter (why, I dont know...). I just found out about this too, here is the details you all want to know: "DODGERS BREAKING NEWS +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ LA ACQUIRES BURNITZ, SIGNS HENDERSON The Dodgers announced today that they have acquired outfielder Jeromy Burnitz and cash considerations from the New York Mets in exchange for minor league infielder Victor Diaz, minor league pitcher Joselo Diaz and minor league pitcher Kole Strayhorn. The club also announced that it has signed free agent outfielder Rickey Henderson, according to Dodger Executive Vice President and General Manager, Dan Evans. Get the whole story at dodgers.com>> http://lists.mlb.com/u/186319/107774 " I think that this may effect other possible acquisitions of L-handed power hitters to our liking...I wonder what the Pirates wanted for Giles, because rumor has it the Dodgers were feenin' for him...
July 15, 200321 yr Diaz(the 2B) is a great hitter who has some problems defensively The 2 pitchers throw gas but are projected as relievers.
July 15, 200321 yr Thats a good Trade. With Lo Duca not doing so well up to now and Shawn Green Slumping Badly Burnitz can help them out tremendously.
July 15, 200321 yr I thought he was gonna end up signing with the Yanks.....I guess the Dodgers needed him after Roberts got hurt worse than the Yanks needed him.
July 15, 200321 yr i saw it on espn. I don't think it was to a minor league deal so he should be playin in the majors this year.
