Newsbreakers
October 17, 2009
The Dodgers have declined a 2010 team option on left handed reliever Will Ohman, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Ohman was a big disappointment for the Dodgers in 2009, pitching in just 21 games due to injury, posting a 5.84 ERA in the process. As a left handed pitcher, however, you can be sure he will latch on somewhere else in 2010.
August 11, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that Dodgers' reliever Will Ohman is throwing bullpen sessions in Arizona and will work out with the team on Friday. Ohman is suffering from left elbow tendiditis.
Our View:
Ohman is not expected to return to the team until September, so it doesn't look like he is making much progress. If he does return for the last month, he could provide some depth for the Dodger bullpen.
June 27, 2009
Updating a previous report, an MRI on Will Ohman's left elbow revealed tendinitis, according to the LA Times.
Our View:
The reliever will rest the elbow and be re-evaluated on Monday. A DL stint may be looming though.
June 24, 2009
Will Ohman has been sent back to Los Angeles for an MRI after experiencing discomfort in his left elbow, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
Our View:
He was on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuqurque. Ohman was expected to pitch today and Wednesday before returning to the the Dodgers over the weekend, but that is now uncertain.
June 19, 2009
Will Ohman pitched a scoreless inning for Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, and could rejoin the Dodgers next week if he gets through scheduled outings on Saturday and Sunday fine, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Our View:
Ohman has been on the disabled list since May 28 with a sore left shoulder. He is one of the only Dodgers to not be sterling in 2009, posting a 5.84 in 21 appearances while striking out only seven.
May 29, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that the Dodgers have placed Will Ohman on the 15-day DL with a sore left shoulder. He will be replaced on the roster by catcher A.J. Ellis.
Our View:
Ohman hasn't been very good for the Dodgers this season, so this move should not affect fantasy owners. He is only expected to miss the 15 days, so expect him back when his time is up on the DL.
April 7, 2009
The Dodgers have purchased Will Ohman's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas, according to TSN. He will earn $1.35MM this season.
Our View:
Ohman's fantasy value will be limited while serving as a lefty specialist out of the Dodgers' bullpen.
March 31, 2009
Will Ohman inked a one-year minor league deal with the Dodgers worth around $1.55MM with a $2MM club option for 2010 with a $200,000 buyout, according to FOX Sports.
Our View:
Ohman will replace Joe Beimel as a lefty specialist in the bullpen, and his fantasy value will be limited.
March 30, 2009
Will Ohman has been offered a deal by the Dodgers, according to the LA Times. It is believed to be a one-year deal worth around $1MM.
Our View:
Ohman would help solidify the Dodgers' bullpen, but the 31-year-old's fantasy value will be limited as a lefty specialist.
March 29, 2009
Will Ohman auditioned for the Dodgers Sunday morning, according to MLB-Blogs.com.
Our View:
Skipper Joe Torre and most of the front office were in attendance. Ohman would be a solid addition to the Dodgers' pen, but his fantasy value would be limited as a lefty specialist.
March 24, 2009
There is a rumor swirling that Will Ohman is on the Giants' radar, according to the SF Chronicle. Jack Taschner has struggled with his control in spring action, with 12 walks over nine appearances, and the Giants may need to replace him in the bullpen.
Our View:
Ohman would be a solid addition to a bullpen as he held a 1.24 WHIP over 58.2 innings in 2008, but his fantasy value would be limited as a lefty specialist. The Padres are also interested in Ohman.
March 13, 2009
According to the North County Times, the Padres are interested in lefty Will Ohman. They are looking to use him as more than a lefty specialist, but most likely won't make a move until his price tag drops.
Our View:
Ohman has experience, something the Padres desperately need in their bullpen, so he could be a good fit. However, his potential spot on their roster is a moot fantasy point.
March 10, 2009
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports indicates that the White Sox are interested in Will Ohman.
Our View:
The Phillies are no longer interested, while the Dodgers remain in the running. Ohman could serve as a left-handed setup man opposite righty Octavio Dotel if he lands in Chicago.
March 8, 2009
Todd Zolecki of MLB.com states that the Phillies are no longer interested in Will Ohman.
Our View:
GM Ruben Amaro Jr. does not expect to add a lefty reliever, so that could take Joe Beimel off their list as well. The Marlins are believed to have a standing offer for Ohman, and the Padres could also be a potential landing spot.
March 4, 2009
The Phillies are negotiating with Will Ohman and made him an offer last week, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Our View:
The Phillies are in the market for a lefty reliever to replace J.C. Romero, who is suspended for the first 50 games of the season. Joe Beimel and Dennys Reyes are also still available if unable to ink Ohman.
February 25, 2009
Will Ohman is on the Marlins' radar, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
The Marlins would like to add the lefty to their pen for a bargain. Ohman covets $1.5MM, but the Marlins believe they can reel him in for less. Inking Ohman would likely take them out of the mix for Ivan Rodriguez.
February 24, 2009
Pittsburgh is still having talks with free-agent left-hander Will Ohman, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Ohman was thought to be one of the more coveted relievers in the free-agent market, but he has not gotten a deal to his liking. It was not thought he was interested in playing for a bad team, which the Pirates are.
February 17, 2009
The Marlins have an offer on the table for Will Ohman, but the lefty wants to play for a better team, according to ESPN.
Our View:
Those better teams are the Phillies, Mets, and Dodgers. The Marlins could use Ohman as they lost several relievers from their pen in the off-season.
February 16, 2009
ESPN.com reports that the Marlins, Pirates, and Padres all have offers on the table for left-hander Will Ohman, but the pitcher continues to talk with the Mets, Dodgers, and Phillies.
Our View:
There's no word on how much the offers are for, but we wouldn't expect much from teams that will not likely challenge in their own divisions. Last season, he was one of the more effective left-handed specialists in the game. Ohman wants to play for a contender, but clearly his asking price should be sliding.
February 16, 2009
The Cardinals are not among the teams talking to Will Ohman, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Our View:
The Cardinals could use another lefty for their pen, but Ohman is apparently not in their plans. The Mets, Phillies and Dodgers have also denied having serious interest for him.
February 14, 2009
The Dodgers' talks with free agent lefty Will Ohman have not been progressing, according to the LA Daily News.
Our View:
Their talks with Dennys Reyes and Jamey Wright have not progressed either, and the Dodgers are going to put their search for a lefty reliever on hold, which gives Carmen Cali, Stephen Randolph and Scott Strickland better odds to make the club.
February 12, 2009
Mack'sMets.com is disputing the news circulating that the Mets made Will Ohman an offer.
Our View:
Four NL clubs have made offers to the lefty reliever, but it appears that the Mets may not be one of them. The Mets are interested in adding Ohman at a bargain price, however.
February 12, 2009
Updating an earlier report, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports indicates that Will Ohman could ink a deal soon.
Our View:
The lefty reliever has received three offers within the last 48 hours, and four overall. All offers are from the NL.
February 12, 2009
The Mets have reportedly offered a contract to Will Ohman, according to the NY Post. Terms of the offer are unknown.
Our View:
Ohman would fill the Mets' need for a lefty reliever, and he could share the setup role with righty J.J. Putz. The Mets wanted to add Ohman at a bargain price.
February 11, 2009
Reliever Will Ohman will make the decision on where he wants to pitch next season sometime in the next day or two, according to FoxSports.com.
Our View:
Ohman apparently has four offers to choose from. The lefty had a very good season with Atlanta a year ago, holding lefties to a .200 batting average.
February 10, 2009
Will Ohman is open to signing a one-year deal with a World Series contender, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Our View:
The Phillies had a good conversation with his rep, but GM Ruben Amaro Jr. indicated that the financial numbers would have to be very modest for them to ink him. The Mets also remain interested in signing him at a bargain price.
February 8, 2009
The Braves are no longer pursuing Will Ohman, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Our View:
The Mets remain interested in adding the lefty reliever at a bargain price, which could be the same case for the Phillies.
February 6, 2009
Will Ohman is not able to comment on the status of his negotiations and David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution would not be surprised if he re-signed with the Braves.
Our View:
The Mets would like to snag Ohman at a bargain price, and it is questionable if the Phillies remain interested.
February 5, 2009
The Mets are interested in Will Ohman with the intention of inking the reliever at a bargain price, according to ESPN.
Our View:
ESPN also disputes Ken Rosenthal's (FOX Sports) report that the Phillies are no longer interested in Ohman. Ohman would likely to be used as a lefty setup man for the Mets.
February 4, 2009
The Phillies are no longer interested in reliever Will Ohman, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
Our View:
The Phillies were considering the lefty as a bullpen replacement for J.C. Romero while he serves his 50-game suspension for a positive drug test. The team is still focusing on adding another bat, with Rich Aurilia among the names on their list.
January 31, 2009
Left-handed reliever Will Ohman is being pursued by the Philadelphia Phillies, according to ESPN.com.
Our View:
J.C. Romero will serve a suspension of 50 games due to a positive drug test, so the team has only Scott Eyre to rely on from the left side.
January 25, 2009
Will Ohman is on the Padres' radar, according to ESPN. The Nationals are interested as well.
Our View:
If the lefty lands in San Diego, he could compete for the setup role behind closer Heath Bell.
January 23, 2009
Will Ohman is reportedly still on the Diamondbacks' radar, according to the Hot Stove Blog on MLB.com.
Our View:
The club needs to replace Juan Cruz and Brandon Lyon in the bullpen, but there is belief they would like to add a starter first. So far, Randy Wolf and Jon Garland turned them down.
January 16, 2009
Will Ohman is continuing to draw interest from the Orioles, according to the Baltimore Sun. He's also being looked at by the Braves, Indians, Rangers, and Diamondbacks. He's received two offers, but is yet to receive one from Baltimore.
Our View:
Ohman would provide a solid option for these clubs from the left side, but is unlikely to have much fantasy value as a middle reliever.
