Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen
Wednesday, August 10, 2005
Dodgers - Acquired Cruz Jr.
Los Angeles Dodgers - Acquired OF Jose Cruz Jr. from the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named.
If anyone wants to get the Red Sox a Christmas present, a gift basket of Wellbutrin might be appreciated. Dan O’Dowd only wishes he could go through plans as quickly as the aught-five Red Stockings. At some point this offseason, Henry really needs to decide who’s in charge in the front office - while it’s nice to have differing opinions on baseball matters, the Sox have managed to get the worst of both worlds.
The Dodgers aren’t crying though as they’ll pick up Cruz essentially for free. Cruz ain’t great as we all know, but unlike most Dodgers, his body parts are all connected to each other.

No wait, that's something I else I smell....
Duct tape is awesome stuff.
You realize they're currently in first place and the defending WS champions, right?
Lucchino seems to be PE#1 on that subject.
I have a feeling that Cruz will be patrolling one of the corner outfield positions for the Boys in Blue tonight.
It should be stirring to see the Dawn of the Jose Cruz, Jr. Era in Los Angeles. I think it will resemble the Darren Lewis Era.
As a rival to be the second least sucky team in the NL West, Arizona's not interested in dealing with LA. But DePodesta believes Cruz as a possible improvement over the other corner outfield backups. So he talks Epstein into an exchange in which Boston agrees to look a little foolish in order to avoid aggravating Arizona.
Dan, I think your bashing of this deal is a little bizzare, given that we have no idea who the prospect is, so we don't really know how said prospect would compare to Bono.
Because of the waiver rules, it ain't gonna be much of a prospect unless other teams are feeling really generous.
The problems with the Red Sox front office extend past this trade.
That PTBNL better be a damn good prospect then. A fine consipracy theory, 643. All it's lacking is a reference to steroids and pus from Barry's knee.
Because of the waiver rules, it ain't gonna be much of a prospect unless other teams are feeling really generous.
I think because of the way that waivers rules work, they can trade any prospect they want and call him a PTBNL.
That's perhaps the entire point of doing it as a PTBNL, so the prospect doesn't need to go through waivers.
Don't be a hater.
And learn that we don't call them "unplanned moves of genius", we call them "inspired moves of genius".
I'm tempted to demand you give up your Theo Fanboy Decoder ring, but perhaps that's rash.
Maybe just don't wear it for a couple days?
