Nobody knows but Milton whether or not he will go postal when they get Finley. My guess would be yes

The problem
Bidding wars for Finley. A possible blockbuster for RJ (don't think we've heard the last from the BoSox and Yankees). Even Joe Jr can't screw this one up. Demand Tankersley and Nady for Fins.

With left-handed pitching ace Randy Johnson still the ultimate prize, the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled off a blockbuster trade Friday when they sent All-Star catcher Paul Lo Duca, outfielder Juan Encarnacion and relief pitcher Guillermo Mota to the Florida Marlins for right-handed pitcher Brad Penny, first baseman Hee Seop Choi and left-handed pitcher Billy Murphy, ESPN reported.
The Dodgers, who lead the NL West and perhaps see an opportunity to win the World Series, still want to land the Arizona Diamondbacks' Johnson, who apparently will decide if he will accept a trade to the Dodgers before the Saturday trading deadline. The Dodgers also are interested in D-Backs center fielder Steve Finley.
The Dodgers reportedly have separate deals tentatively in place with Arizona for Johnson and Finley.
For Johnson, the Dodgers would send Penny and Murphy to Arizona. For Finley, the Dodgers would sent outfielder Jayson Werth and other prospects.

Big Unit seriously considering Dodgers, report says
Even if the Dodgers don't get Johnson, the Los Angeles Times reported the team could still acquire Finley.
The Marlins, who won the World Series last year, also have eyes on the postseason. They apparently were willing to depart with Penny because of payroll concerns, but wanted a productive catcher and another starting pitcher in return.
Los Angeles reportedly has acquired catcher Charles Johnson from the Rockies to fill the hole left by Lo Duca. The deal apparently is only awaiting Charles Johnson's approval.

Also don't be suprised if the Phillies go after Danny Bautista after losing out on Finley. They aren't going to quit either

abomb said:
the D-Rays just got Scott Kazmir? That team is going to be unbelievable in a few years. The Marlins look to be the favorites in the East and maybe the whole NL right now becasue they just shored up their two biggest weaknesses in a set-up guy and a catcher. Of course, the team they're chasing has the best GM in the game so you can never count out the Braves.

The Mets also got Benson from the Pirates.
Some dude on a Cubs board just said he heard Gammons report on ESPN radio that Johnson said he will accept a trade to LA. I did not hear this and do not know the reliability of this poster but thought I would pass it along.
still don't hear anything offical with the Dbacks yet

Well since this is our trade thread I guess I'll put this here...
Per Gambo, It looks like Danny Bautista will be traded to the Red Sox for a catching prospect

The problem
Kelly Shoppach is a good prospect and is probably worth way more than Danny Bo. I guess that's why Boston backed out.

This is a GREAT FA class as it comes to pitchers (Odalis Perez, Clement, etc.). Per Gambo, the Dbacks are very interested in a FA pitcher from the Marlins whose name escapes me right now.

The problem
There's a three way involving San Diego, Boston, and the DBacks being discussed. Principles are Steve Finley, Xavier Nady, Vazquez, and a LH Boston prospect that the DBacks covet.
