Dodgers Would Have To Eat Salary To Trade Ethier 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jun 6, 2013 8:41 pm

Andre Ethier's name will likely pop up in trade scenarios as Yasiel Puig impresses with the Dodgers.


Ethier was mentioned in rumors this past winter as well. He is batting .237 with just four home runs and 15 RBI.


He is playing under a five-year, $85 million deal.


If the Dodgers are going to trade Ethier, they'll have to eat some of his contract.


"Significant dollars would have to come back," one rival general manager said.


"It would have to be a bad contract for a bad contract," another GM said.


"No one's untradeable if the team eats enough of the money," a third rival GM said. "I bet they'd have to eat half."
