Halfway through the Winter Meetings in Vegas, the Dodgers have already made a few moves.
Casey Blake accepted a three-year, $17.5 million dollar deal with an option for 2012.
With Loney and Blake secured on the corners, and Blake DeWitt expected to be the starting second baseman, the Dodgers are still in need of a shortstop. Free agent Furcal has narrowed down his options to Oakland, Toronto, KC, and the Dodgers. The Dodgers are also reportedly close to a one-year deal with Mark Loretta, who would likely be a utility infielder while sharing the second base position with DeWitt.
Even after the Yankees and Brewers have offered deals to CC Sabathia, he is still keeping the Dodgers as an option. Colletti will likely not jump on a CC offer until the shortstop hole is filled. CC likes that the Dodgers are an NL team near his southern California home, but the Dodgers could probably not top the Yankees six-year deal.
