Homer Bailey

They don't have the creativity when it comes to either a trade.

Dick Williams swinging that trade to get rid of Homer Bailey's contract, absorbing some or a little bit of Matt Kemp just so he could have Yasiel Puig and some of the pitching he got in that deal.

He flips Yasiel Puig for Trevor Bauer.

That was a great deal as far as the on-field stuff goes.

July 2nd, he lost to the Reds.

Homer Bailey had a no-hitter.

Homer Bailey also had the previous...

You know what? That is correct.

Dodger legend, Homer Bailey.

Future Dodger Rewind candidate.

It's very thin, and I think you're likely talking about trading somebody that we would really care about and really be excited about in order for that deal to happen, which low-key, that's what happened a little bit with the Homer Bailey deal, but we just didn't think of it that much back then because the cupboard wasn't as bare as it is right now.

But the whole point being, and we'll discuss that a little bit later on, the budget is going to allow for a couple of moves.

Jay Bruce and then, um, certainly Johnny Cueto was signed internationally.

You had Homer Bailey who came along eventually.

Um, they drafted Mike Leake in that run-up to the 2010 team that made the playoffs.
