Roberto Hernandez: Traded to Dodgers

Hernandez was traded to the Dodgers on Thursday.

Analysis:

Hernandez was traded for either two players to be named later or cash considerations. The move is a bit puzzling for the Dodgers, who already have a strong rotation. The team may decide to use him as the fifth starter over Dan Haren or may choose to use him as a reliever out of the bullpen. Either way, the 34 year-old will be the beneficiary of a move that will add him to a team in the playoff hunt.
