The Baltimore Orioles asked the Los Angeles Dodgers for outfielder Matt Kemp, third baseman Andy LaRoche and 19-year-old left-hander Clayton Kershaw in return for SP Erik Bedard. If the Yankees package a prospect with OF Hideki Matsui, it might be enough to get SP Noah Lowry or RP Jonathan Sanchez from the San Francisco Giants. SP Tim Lincecum is considered untouchable. The Dodgers are now entertaining offers for OF Andre Ethier after signing Andruw Jones to a two-year ...
