As most of us know by now, Jim Thome was dealt from the painfully mediocre White Sox to the NL West leading Dodgers two days ago. What I'm most interested in is not how this trade impacts the Dodgers, but instead, how this deal possibly impacts Garland's value on the open market...

Jim Thome is one of the most interesting free agent cases out there this season. At 38 years old, Thome is still a very productive hitter and remains one of the top power threats in the American League with 20 home runs this season. There is no doubt that Thome can still be a productive...

The Dodgers acquired Jim Thome from the Chicago White Sox yesterday in a somewhat baffling trade with the Chicago White Sox. Why? Because Thome spent nearly all of his time on the south side as a DH, and hasn’t been in the field since he played first base for one game in 2007. But LA [...]
