UPDATE (3:03pm CT): Well, that was quick! ESPN's Jerry Crasnick is reporting the Dodgers are now close to re-signing Mark Sweeney to a one-year deal.
**********
It looks like Tony Clark is headed to San Diego. The San Diego Union-Tribune is reporting only "details" remain on what appears to be a one-year deal, and that an announcement could come in a day or two. Clark would be the primary power lefty (even though he is a switch hitter) off the bench for the Padres and would also spell Adrian Gonzalez at first from time to time. Looks like the Dodgers will have to turn their focus back to Mark Sweeney (which is fine with me).
And here's an interesting one involving the Dodgers. According to the Denver Post, the Dodgers and Oakland have discussed Joe Blanton again (remember the two teams made a last ditch effort before last season's July 31st trade deadline to make a deal for Blanton). However, Billy Beane reportedly wants Andre Ethier (whom Beane traded to the Dodgers two years ago for Milton Bradley), Andy LaRoche and a high level prospect. First, I can't imagine the Dodgers making this deal now as Ethier should be the everyday left fielder over Juan Pierre and LaRoche should be the Dodgers third baseman over Nomar, and second, who knows how accurate this report might be considering it came from Denver rather than Oakland or L.A.
