BRADLEY TRADED TO LOS ANGELES
It was no secret that Cleveland wanted to get rid of troubled outfielder Milton Bradley, and the Dodgers seized the opportunity. Los Angeles traded their minor league player of the year in outfielder, 21 year-old Franklin Gutierrez as well as a player to be named later for the Cleveland outfielder.

Bradley will provide some offense for the Dodgers...That is if he can stay healthy and stay out of jail. This is the philosophy of Moneyball at its finest--acquiring a player for less than market value. Paul Lo Duca and Milton Bradley had a run in last season, and Bradley had a Lo Duca baseball card (as well as Jason Giambi, with whom he had another run in last season) handing in his locker. Lo Duca seems to be a hard-nosed player, and it'll be interesting to see how these two players reconcile (if they do at all) and how Lo Duca and other veterans react to Bradley's immaturity.
