Juan Pierre said he would restructure his contract if doing so would assure him of being traded to a team where he could be an everyday player again. He is owed $28.5 million over the next three years. Pierre, who was relegated to reserve duty last year, said that the Dodgers gave his agent, Mark Pieper, permission this winter to find a team that would be interested in trading for him. Pieper couldn't find anyone. Manager Joe Torre and third base coach Larry Bowa praised the way Pierre handled his demotion last year, pointing to how he continued to help young players such as Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp, who pushed him out of the lineup. "If I'm in that situation, I'll do it again," Pierre said. "But I won't ever see myself as a fourth outfielder."
