Green Gone To Arizona

Shawn Green and the Diamondbacks have agreed to a 3-year, $30M deal, according to the AP.

ESPN, fix your fargin' website.

Update: on dodgers.com, $32M/3 years, with a fourth-year option for $8M. Also, the two throw-in pitching prospects have been named:

And yet, here we are five weeks or less from spring training with no signed coaching staff. Tommy Hawkins quit because no one contacted him about a new contract.

Rumour has it that the Dodger front office is in turmoil with no clear direction and a severe lack of communication.

Who has the reins????

Don -- I certainly understand the reasoning behind the Green trade -- he's overpriced and redundant, and the team needs pitching more than Green's risky bat. However, Choi remains in my mind an even bigger gamble. This will be the first season anywhere where he's ever been required to carry his position offensively. To say that I'm not concerned would be incorrect, but DePo's a smart guy -- generally -- and while I don't always agree with his moves, I do think he's at least coherently shifting the Dodgers to the kind of team he wants (higher OBP, revamped pitching, younger, younger, younger).
