(UPDATE 6:41 PM CT): According to SI's Jon Heyman, the Padres almost traded Adrian Gonzalez and Heath Bell to the Dodgers for James Loney, Russell Martin, Blake DeWitt, James McDonald and Ivan Dejesus, Jr. Wow!
**********
UPDATE (5:32 PM CT): While this deal never consumated, here's what really happened...
According to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark, the Dodgers had called the Padres to get a feel for Heath Bell. The Dodgers had been rumored to be looking for addition bullpen help even after acquiring George Sherrill yesterday when they were convinced acquiring Roy Halladay or another starter today wasn't going to happen.
Stark says when the Dodgers called the Padres, the Padres asked the Dodgers if they had any interest in Adrian Gonzalez and would be willing to expand the deal to include him. They talked, and kick around names, but were never really able to get anything going.
**********
A big turn of events has transpired in the last hour. According to one report, the Dodgers have turned their attention to Adrian Gonzalez and Heath Bell of the Padres. James Loney could be part of this directly, or indirectly.
Not sure how much juice this has but it makes no sense to me. The Dodgers need an arm in the rotation. Deadline is 41 minutes from now. We'll know soon enough if this comes to fruition.
