Dodgers, A's can't strike Blanton deal 

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Tue Jul 31, 2007 6:20 pm

The Dodgers made a strong, aggressive push to acquire right-hander Joe Blanton from the A's on Monday, but fell short of completing a trade, according to major-league sources.

The talks could revive, sources said, but only if the Dodgers initiate another effort prior to the non-waiver deadline at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Such an attempt is unlikely; the Dodgers, after offering the A's three top minor leaguers

3 top minor leaguers and we passed?

Hmmm... I doubt they were all that great if we passed on them to keep Blanton, whos due for some hefty pay raises coming up..
