Dodgers News | Rumors: Kershaw, Greinke, AND Price?
The big news of yesterday was Andrelton Simmons being traded to the Angels. The Dodgers were reportedly interested, but don’t worry, the team is involved in plenty of other rumors. Also, the team is moving closer to hiring a manager, and Brett Anderson will be coming back for another season. That and more in today’s Dodgers Credits.
Dodgers Nation
- Zack Greinke and Howie Kendrick declined their qualifying offers and are now free agents, while Brett Anderson will sign his and return to the team for another season.
- Former Dodger Dee Gordon won another award. This time it was the Silver Slugger Award.
- Dee Gordon’s success elsewhere should encourage the Dodgers and their fans to be more patient with Yasiel Puig.
- It was first reported that the Dodgers were down to five finalists for the manger job — Dave Roberts, Bud Black, Darin Erstad, Gabe Kapler, and Kirk Gibson — but an updated report says Gibson is not a finalist. It’s somewhat surprising that Dave Martinez isn’t included.
