Both Jay Jaffe and Jon Weisman wonder if everything was indeed kosher with the Angels’ aquisition of superduperstar Vlad Guerrero. One thing is for sure: The move has to been seen as a slap in the face to the Dodger organization. Here is Tommy Lasorda in the L.A. Times:

“I’m very impressed with what they’ve done,” he said. “They’re gonna have a lot to say about who wins their division. That’s the good thing about free agency, you can go out and get players you need.”

What about the Dodgers, Tommy?

Lasorda shrugged and winced, a silence that spoke volumes.

Not easy to shut that man up either.
