Odalis Perez Traded To The Kansas City Royals

Odalis PerezDisgruntled Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher, Odalis Perez, was finally traded away from L.A. to the Royals for pitcher Elmer Dessens.  Along with Perez, two minor leaguers - Blake Johnson and Julio Pimental - and cash considerations were sent Kansas City’s way.  Perez has been particularly vocal this season about how unhappy he was with the Dodgers and their use of him, and even though the organization said that they weren’t going to trade him, off Perez goes on his merry way to the baseball equivalent of Hell.  And, let’s be honest - the Dodgers overpaid big-time to get Dessens.  The moral of the story?  If you’re going to bash your club, at least perform well because a 6.83 ERA, 1.72 WHIP, and .346 BAA does not validate anyone mouthing off, so they, that is Perez, deserves to play with the Royals.  Out of the frying pan into the fire.
