Took a lot of back and forth to get here but we made it. Really hate dealing from my catching depth but I don't really have that MOTO donkey in my system. I think/hope Aikens can be that guy. Manning gives me another outfielder to fill in after the departure of Lezcano that can really play D and get on base.

Please call up Aikens and put him at 1B in the 4-hole vacated by Bando and move Velez to 3B. Put Thompkins in the #3 MR & #2 SU spot in the bullpen.

Thx and GL to Oakland!

Oakland agrees.

Wow, finally hammered it out. A pleasure working out the deal with the Dodgers. I didn't really get the top studs in his system that I wanted... but I did get several good/needed players. And talk about a system... dang, so many good young players. Learned much on player values from the GM... he knows his/the stuff. Let's see- Excellent GM, Excellent young players, a plan in motion, good finances... Look out NL.
Thanks again J.
