The Market is Developing for Trevor Hoffman
FanHouse — ... NL Central, NL West, MLB RumorsIt's almost as if teams are looking at the calendar and saying "hey, let's start signing these players before spring training gets here". The market was almost dead in December, traditionally when the pieces start to fall into place. But now that it's 2009, the pieces are starting to move a bit. Proof: there are two teams interested in Trevor Hoffman. We found out about the Brewers earlier, but now the Dodgers have entered the fray by offering Hoffman a one year deal. "He's got three young ...

The Dodgers will meet or beat their season-ticket sales from last year even if they do not sign Ramirez, chief operating officer Dennis Mannion said.

So I don't know really where that one is at this point in time." Eh. Not much of a loss if he goes elsewhere. The Dodgers have recently joined the Milwaukee Brewers in the pursuit of ...

Dodgers Offer One-Year Deal to "The Hoff"
Sons of Steve Garvey — ... Dodger GM Ned Colletti. "Although he is most closely identified with the beaches of Malibu, we feel his universal appeal would be a perfect fit for Chavez Ravine—er, Dodgertown." Hasselhoff, the all-time leader in Hearts Set Aflutter (HSA), famously makes his entrance into a game to "I'm Always Here" by Jimi Jamison (of 80's rock band Survivor). If Hasselhoff is signed, the Dodgers will negotiate with AC/DC to produce an updated version of the song. Elsewhere: Dodgers offer one-year deal to all-time save leader Trevor Hoffman (LA Times)
