Dem Bums – A Dodgers Blog

The Dodgers may lose Derek Lowe to the Mets, who offered him a $36 million, three-year deal. The Dodgers picked up free agent Claudio Vargas, a right-handed starter who made four starts with the Mets in ’08 before going back to the Minors in late June. Vargas went 3-2 with a 4.62 ERA in 37 innings with the Mets before joining the Mets’ Triple-A team to finish the season.

With nothing new on the status of Manny Ramirez, the Dodgers are exploring the options of Adam Dunn and Bobby Abreu to fill the left field gap should Manny sign elsewhere.
