With Kazmir & Maeda in the fold, I wonder if they are still pursuing Fernandez. Maybe they wait to see where they are at the deadline.

Depending on Maeda deal structure, it appears LAD will spend about the same on Kazmir/Maeda as they offered Zack Greinke.

The Chicago #WhiteSox want to sign free agent OF Alex Gordon or Yoenis Cespedes, but only if they're willing to take 3-year deal or less.

Brilliant move by LA. The max Maeda could make is $15M a year if he meets incentives which are probably All-Star, Cy Young, etc. If he meets those he would still be a steal at $15M a year.

totally agree. which makes me wonder how the hell he made it past every other team.

maeda's japan numbers blow darvish and tanaka's numbers out of the water

He doesn't throw as hard as Darvish. I read a lot of scouts compared him to Matsuzaka, the japanese pitcher the Red Sox went all in on in 2007.

and I do like what the Dodgers are doing. I think Kazmir should be decent in their ball park and Maeda is a decent bet to be a good #3-4 starter.
