I just saw that. Smart move by the Dodgers, LA has the largest Korean American population in the states. They need to get those kogi food trucks near the game. Baseball, korean barbecue, and beer. Song time

This guy is not hungry for food.

LOL! Nice work Saulty! Without looking into further, Korea has the best ballgirl uniforms!

The Blue Jays are on the verge of acquiring Josh Johnson from the Marlins, a source tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter). Toronto will also land Mark Buehrle in the trade, sources tell Ken Rosenthal (Twitter link) and Morosi. The Marlins will receive Yunel Escobar and Adeiny Hechavarria in return, Rosenthal tweets.

One source tells Morosi that Jose Reyes may also be headed to Toronto in the trade (Twitter link). That part of the deal is not yet confirmed but there will be more pieces outside of Johnson, Buehrle, Escobar, and Hechavarria in the swap, Rosenthal tweets.

No kidding, probably has 100 posts denying they salary dump.

At least they still have that ugly ass ball park.

 

[Mudcat]

Wow, if that is the deal - just those 4 players - that would be a helluva steal for the Blue Jays.

Loving the sound of it from the Toronto end.

But I just can't believe it right now. Dumping salary or not, Marlins could get more for those two pitchers than that.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Depends on the deal. Nobody wants those contracts.

They may be in shambles, but the ballpark is far from ugly pal.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Perhaps, but that home run sculpture is extremely corny.

I will not deny that.
