Interesting Pickup for the Dodgers !!

On July 7th, we spotted Nyjer Morgan on waivers from Pittsburgh. It got us thinking about our bench. We needed a bit more pop off the bench.

We looked over our team and with Delwyn Young hitting just .160, we needed more. If we could find a trading partner for Young then we could possibly pull Morgan off waivers. It had to be quick though.

We really did not want a lot for Young. He is someone that is getting better, but just not for us. We began to shop Young around the Majors. We found a lot of teams wanting to trade for him, but then the Texas Rangers anted up and offered SP-Matt Harrison. We could not pass on a player like that, so we made the trade and then went after Morgan.

We also got Morgan off waivers and added him to our bench. We put Harrison in AAA for now till we actually see what we have.

But, WOW!! What a deal!
