NED COLLETTI
- Here's the order of what I want to do. I want to sign a couple pitchers off the scrap heap, resign our aging back-up catcher, snag a second baseman somewhere, and find a way to extend Matt Kemp.
DENNIS MANNION
- The Kemp extension's gonna put you overbudget for when the divorce hits the books, Ned.
NED COLLETTI
- Well, he's a 25-year-old superstar. He's the best center fielder in the National League, Dennis, he's got to be locked up.
DENNIS MANNION
- Fine, then trade away Clayton Kershaw or Chad Billingsley. Someone.
NED COLLETTI
- Well, without great young pitching, what's the point?
DENNIS MANNION
- Ned, you're telling me what you need, I'm telling you what we have to work with at this point. I'm not making this stuff up.
NED COLLETTI
- We're gonna need all these players, Dennis.
DENNIS MANNION
- We do not have the cash, Ned! We just don't have it.
NED COLLETTI
- Okay, I'm going to go back down to the lobby and find someone to take Pierre's contract, probably along with a prospect. Let's start from scratch. Clear the board.
DENNIS MANNION
- I don't know where the hell we're gonna find it.
