Per MLBTR today: "The Dodgers' pursuit of pitcher Masahiro Tanaka appears to be "the most obvious move since Brad Pitt sidled up to Angelina Jolie," writes Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles Times. Dilbeck cites the Dodgers' signings of Hyun-Jin Ryu, Yasiel Puig and Alexander Guerrero as evidence that the team will use its considerable financial heft to pursue the biggest-name international free agents. "We've scouted him a lot, we're very much aware of him," says GM Ned Colletti. "We saw him as recently as two days ago."
LincStrong don't have the moxy to spend the $100M+ that it will take to get Tanaka. I personally doubt that the M's will even bother to bid for him. Those 2 jokers will take their annual profit, watch the franchise value go up a little more, and re-sign Rauuuuuuul as their big move for 2014, thank you very much for nothing.
