A source close to this situation was quoted as saying this deal appears to be "a long-shot."
GM Ned Colletti had this quote about acquiring starting pitching:
"We would like to improve our pitching, especially starting pitching. I don't believe we can subtract from it in order to improve it."While Billingsley certainly had his struggles in the second half of '09, his excellent first half, good enough to earn him an All-Star berth, is a big reason why the Dodgers don't want to throw in the towel with him.
As with the case of any trade rumor, you never know what will happen in the end. I don't think anybody saw the Dodgers getting Manny Ramirez at the trade deadline in 2008, but it happened at the last minute. If you're a fan of this deal, then keep the faith, because anything is possible.
