NEW YORK — With less than a week remaining until the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, Alex Guerrero is waiting for news that could free him from the Dodgers bench.
Guerrero said he likes the Dodgers organization, which he refers to as "family." He also said he is open to a trade because he wants to play more.
"We're talking about my career, my future," Guerrero said in Spanish.
In the second year of his four-year, $28-million contract, Guerrero has started only 35 games. He was supposed to make a rare start Friday — he has started twice in the last 22 games — only to be scratched from the lineup with a tight back.
