    This makes no sense from both sides. Good trade bait come the July deadline though.

    Maybe he's just there as a veteran presence to mentor the young guys?

    If by mentoring the young guys you mean publicly criticizing them, then yes.

    I'm not sure if what instance your referring too? If it had anything to do with the Dodgers as I assume from last year, I cant comment on that, I have to read the story first before I say anything.
