The Dodgers are telling people shortstop is their top priority. Pittsburgh's Jack Wilson and Toronto's David Eckstein have been mentioned as possible trade targets. But how about All-Star Cristian Guzman, who hasn't yet signed an extension with the Nationals?

If the Rangers fall out of contention, why don't the Dodgers go after Mike Young.

July 20, 2008  10:34 AM ET

Young ain't going anywhere. He is a fixture in Texas for a while. The Dodgers have Furcal under contract, so they need a rental. Eckstein makes sense. He's been on two World Series winners.

Perhaps they might check with the Red Sox, they've got a few short stops ... poor quality, but low low prices!

Good thought, Atro. Julio Lugo to the Dodgers for a used pair of flip-flops, some cheap sunglasses and a Hollywood postcard.

What about Nomaahhhh?!?!

July 20, 2008  12:11 PM ET

I hope Joe ain't been talking to Derek...

July 20, 2008  12:20 PM ET

He can talk all he wants Tony. Derek won't be listening.

good point cardsFan2, to derek Joe is MR. Torre, but to the yankess, Derek is Mr. Yankee.

Grow some cajones Colletti! Make a bold move for once instead of the safe and expensive one's that HAVE NOT WORKED!

July 20, 2008  01:51 PM ET

I believe Furcal is in the last year of his contract and is inury prone. I would love to reunite Jeter and Torre, I know it won't happen, but I can dream.

July 20, 2008  01:51 PM ET

When you are under 500 you should be a seller not a buyer. Just because your division sucks does not make you a contender. The Doyers have as much chance as Ralph Nader does at being President of the Free World.

July 20, 2008  01:52 PM ET

PS: to tell it like it is, Furcal is a free agent after this year, and he done for this year

I thought there was a chance he might be back in September? And his contract's up? Yep, that changes things.

The perfect scenario would have Cabrera replacing Nomar at SS - just another ''nail in the coffin" !!!

July 20, 2008  06:58 PM ET

I believe the Dodgers are looking for a SS so they can move Nomar to 3rd and platoon with Dewitt.

No he ain't crazy and I think he's now tied for first over there! Those california commercials he's doing crack me up!

This is pretty old news. In fact, I heard that a trade for Jack Wilson was already on the drawing-board. However, the Dodgers' definitely need a SS unless they can get their infield looking like this:
C- Martin
1B- Loney
2B- Kent (aging)/Young (future)
SS- Garciaparra/Berroa
3B- LaRoche/DeWitt
