O's, preliminary talks with the Dodgers - What if it was not about Kemp, but Puig?

[PerfectPractice]

The Dodgers just made a trade for another OF, Heisey, from the Reds. Although still very young, Puig gives Mattingly heartburn. Would you give up Bundy/Matusz for Puig?

I like Puig's game, but don't like the "other stuff" that comes along with him. I don't think he'd be a good fit on a Buck-lead team.

The Dodgers aren't trading Puig, and even if they were, it's going to take a lot more than Bundy and Matusz to get it done.

We need to take into account the attitude of the guys we are adding. It might seem corny but, Cruz was awesome last year. Set a great example for the young guys. Jimenez took his demotion like a man. Don't discount character when we contemplate adding high priced players, I really believe DD looks at that. We don't have the money to win with mercenaries.

All are great points... Puig is most definitely a wildcard.

[El Gordo]

The LAD don't want to let go of Puig. They should get rid of Mattingly first IMO. We would have to give up a lot more than just Bundy and Matusz to get him.

NO! To much baggage. No No Np
