Tommy Lasorda retires!
Did not see that coming.
Perhaps, though, it's one of those proverbial blessings in disguise. Tommy and I didn't always see eye-to-eye on things. While, it's hard to deny his success, this is a chance to bring in some, also proverbial, new blood.

The following players are free agents
LF Rickey Henderson
SP Nolan Ryan
SS Jose Oquendo
CF Gary Pettis
RP Bob Patterson

Minors
C Carlos Diaz
RP Joe Kraemer

And these players are eligible for arbitration
SP Ramon Martinez
RP Tom Bolton
RP Tony Fossas
RP Mike Hartley
LF Mike Huff
LF Bill Bean
RF Roberto Kelly
RF Lloyd McClendon

We have these players (in addition to the arbitration eligible players listed above) on the 40-man roster
C Mike Piazza
C Darrin Fletcher
C Carlos Hernandez
1B Bobby Bonilla
1B Eric Karros
2B Jose Offerman
3B Dave Hollins
3B Dave Hansen
SS Jon Valentin
IF Rafael Bournigal
IF Clay Bellinger
CF Brett Butler
OF JT Bruett
OF Billy Ashley
SP Tim Belcher
SP Orel Hershiser
SP Pedro Astacio
SP David Nied
SP Jim Neidlinger
SP Dennis Springer
RP Lee Smith
RP John Wetteland
RP Rod Beck
RP Jose Melendez
RP Darren Holmes
RP Mike Christopher
RP Jim Poole
RP Mike Munoz

The following players need to be added to the 40 man roster or will be eligible to be selected in the Rule V Draft.
IF Mike Benjamin
IF Eddie Pie
OF Raul Mondesi
SP Mark Mimbs
SP Mike Mimbs

To further complicate matters, the expansion draft is occurring in a few weeks. We'll need to protect 15 players and the rest of the team will be eligible to be selected in that draft.
