That move smacks of desperation by an underachieving overpaid team.
Well what more does he have to prove in the minors? I don't care if he's only 19. A 1 ERA and a K/9 over 9 in the Pacific League is amazing. He's ready.
Plus, the Dodgers don't care about money, so they can afford any money this may cost them on the back end if he pans out.
