The Miggy Negotiations

I’ve been searching around Google for Dodger blogs to get a take on what’s going on between the Marlins and Dodgers and the potential deal the Dodgers could be putting together to make a run at Miguel Cabrera. I stumbled upon True Brue LA which had a conversation between Dodgers GM Ned Colletti and Marlins GM Larry Beinfest. I will provide you a hilarious snippet from the conversation and then forward you over to True Blue LA for the rest.

Ned: Hey Larry, I understand Miggy is on the table

Larry: Yup, the papers said you’d be calling

Ned: Were looking to make a big splash and no one can make a bigger splash then your boy

Larry: More like a Tsunami when he hits the water

Ned : Hah, so what do want

Larry: Well lets start with that CF you have playing RF.

Ned: Ethier?

Larry: No, the one causing all the trouble with Kent

Ned: Kemp? Okay then, Kemp for Miggy

Larry: Not so fast Ned, if you want Miggy it is going to be as painful for you as it is for me

Ned: I understand it hurts to give up a talent like Miggy. If your serious about trading him I need to talk contract with him. No point in us even going forward unless we are able to talk to Miggy about an extension.

Larry: No can do, our little Miggy is on vacation and doesn’t want to be bothered until spring. He loves Los Angeles, he told me before he left that if Los Angeles was interested in him, to tell you guys he’d love to retire a Dodger and break Alex Rodriguez record in Dodger Stadium.

Ned: Really?

Larry: Oh yeah, he loves LA. Wants to become the 1st Venezuelan movie star. He seemed especially interested in working in the Northwest Valley Movie industry for some reason. I guess Hollywood has moved.

Ned: That sounds great. Frank will be pickled to hear that. Maybe he and Jamie can star in a movie together.

Ned: Okay then, with that out of the way what else do you want. I was thinking of something like Kemp, our hot little SS Hu, and our crack closer Meloan. Hu is a defensive whiz and it would really upgrade your infield.
