On this episode of “Dugout Blues,” Jared Massey (Dodger Blue) and I are back after a brief hiatus because, well, nothing has really happened in the Dodger world.
We break down the two minor trades the Dodgers made — Carlos Ruiz to the Mariners for Vidal Nuno and Howie Kendrick to the Phillies for Darin Ruf and Darnell Sweeney. Both trades are pretty inconsequential as the Dodgers have a cheaper and, likely, better backup option in Austin Barnes, and Kendrick really served no purpose on the team if he can’t play second base anymore.
