The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently shopping utility infielder Juan Uribe. However, the team is attracting little interest, with teams almost unwilling to take on his entire salary contract. Uribe, who has batted a mere .199 the past two seasons combined, is entering the final year of a three-year, $21 million contract.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been in talks with the New York Mets about a trade for National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey. Dickey would be a possible fallback if the team is unable to sign top free-agent pitcher Zack Greinke. However, if added with Greinke, Dickey would give the Dodgers rotation three perennial Cy Young winning ace pitchers, along with Clayton Kershaw. Greinke remains the team’s top priority that believes it can outbid anyone financially. A trade for Dickey, however, would depend on prospects that the Dodgers do not seem to have.
Former Dodgers pitcher Chan Ho Park, the Major Leagues’ first South Korean-born player and winningest Asian-born pitcher, announced his retirement. The 39-year-old right-hander, who enjoyed his greatest success with Los Angeles from 1994-2001, last pitched in the Majors in 2010 for the Pittsburgh Pirates, his seventh team in 17 seasons. Park finished his big league career with a record of 124-98 over 476 games, starting in 287. He posted a 4.36 ERA and recorded 1,715 strikeouts. In what turned out to be his final Major League appearance on October 1, 2010, Park pitched three scoreless innings in relief for the Pirates against the Marlins that earned him his 124th career win. He passed former Dodgers teammate Hideo Nomo’s record for most victories by an Asian-born pitcher.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly is a candidate on the National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot for the 13th year. Mattingly spent 14 seasons as the face of the New York Yankees. Being one of the most popular players in franchise history, he should expect to hear a loud ovation when the Dodgers visit Yankees Stadium for an Interleague series in June. While Mattingly has already been enshrined in Monument Park, with his No. 23 retired by the Yankees, the nine-time Gold Glove Award winner is not holding out hope for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
