Gammons said Kemp has "resigned himself to a trade, and is expecting it". Not a good thing. However, the really interesting thing was a specualtion about possibly getting Price, as leverage on Kershaw....like see, "we have a great LH besides you anyway if you want to be difficult on money". And what was once a loyal LAD attitude by Clayton is now morphed into a "we'll see" one. Can this be true? This is ugly and disheartening if it all is....letting CK walk would be worse than anything that Frank did...anything.
Bill Plunkett @billplunkettocr 1m Mattingly on possibility of #Dodgers going into 2014 with Puig-Kemp-Ethier-Crawford: "I think we can make it work." 2:21 PM - 10 Dec 13 · Details
@dylanohernandez: #Dodgers looking at Michael Young as possible infield option. We should fire whoever is in favor of this.
Well I am the ONLY one I am sure is going to say this, he's not a pinch hitter and part-time player so if given more consistent playing time, he's still got something left IMHO.
Dylan Hernandez @dylanohernandez 42s #Dodgers GM Ned Colletti doesn't expect to talk to Clayton Kershaw or Hanley Ramirez about extensions until after the winter meetings. 3:46 PM - 10 Dec 13 · Details really, what exactly are you doing there that's occupying your time ned? __

Bill Plunkett | less than a minute ago #Dodgers GM Ned Colletti on pursuing front-line starting pitchers (i.e. David Price, Masahiro Tanaka): "That's not where our concentration is right now." Also said there is "nothing we're closing in on or chasing right now" to add to the starting rotation. http://sulia.com/channel/baseball/f/0f8d886c-3a96-4898-98e8-3409a6597af8/?source=twitter
Laying the groundwork is as much a part of the winter meetings as actual transactions. Still alot of off season left.
