Nomar Maybe Dodger-Bound, Other Dodger Notes
The Times is reporting that former Boston and Cubs shortstop and third baseman Nomar Garciaparra has spent a second day talking to the Dodgers, and may be leaning in the direction of signing a contract with the Los Angeles club. The Dodgers are believed to have made a one-year offer below the $8.25M he made last year, but one that could go above that number with bonuses and incentives. Garciaparra would most likely play first or left field, depending on other signings, but the Dodgers would prefer him at first, where he wouldn't have to test his groin muscles.
Update: just to prove I don't always keep up with everything, more on this from Jon, who ably points out the fact that Saenz plus Choi put up better numbers last year than Nomar did.
In other news:
- Minor league pitching coordinator Rick Honeycutt is said to be a strong candidate to be the team's new pitching coach.
- Despite meeting with the Diamondbacks yesterday, Kenny Lofton is more interested in playing for the Dodgers, and was to talk to Ned Colletti either last night or today.
- Colletti said it would be a "longshot" for the Dodgers to sign free agent centerfielder Johnny Damon.
- The Boston Herald claims the Dodgers are pursuing former Padres free agent reliever Rudy Seanez. The Braves and Red Sox are the other two teams involved.
Comments:
call me a cynic, but I just don't think Lofton or Noma have it anymore.

"Saenz plus Choi put up better numbers last year than Nomar did."
And... how many wins did we have last season??? Who did we get for Shawn Green again?

Uh... this is relevant, how? I mean, seriously, if you put Barry Bonds out there for 162 games and the seven dwarves for the other positions, how many games will you win?
Heatshield:
The Dodgers got Dioner Navarro for salary relief of $6 million and Shawn Green.
Know your transactions before you complain.
