Dodgers Were Looking To Dump Off Scott Kazmir In Giancarlo Stanton Trade Talks

The Dodgers have such immediate issues with luxury tax and debt service that the only way they would take on the problematic 10 years left on Stanton was if the Marlins absorbed unfavorable contracts of players such as Adrian Gonzalez and/or Scott Kazmir, plus took on more money than $30 million. The Marlins were never drawn to that. The Dodgers are perhaps a year away from having their payroll cleaned up to where this deal would have been more palatable for them.
