MANNY has been traded

[Fishhead]

What was their incentive to overblow his antics?

Egos and being somewhat nerdy...............

Businessmen that probably never played ball past the age of 9.

 

[Fishhead]

That is what is being reported on NESN nothing official yet

Manny will probably decline the deal.........that would be classic.

 

[MattMillen+]

Great trade for LA.

 

[Harvey Dent]

Red sox also have confirmed they are paying off rest of mannys salary

 

[Brock Landers]

that was dumb, they won 2 WS's with the guy, no reason to trade him if you have dealt with his attitude this long

 

[PatPatriot]

Manny traded!!!

To Dodgers,Sox get jason Bay and other from Pirates in a three way.

 

[Harvey Dent]

Manny will probably decline the deal.........that would be classic.

Its now confirmed Hansen and Moss traded... cant believe that

 

[ToddInVegas]

Moss, Hanson and Manny.....for Bay????


WTF???

Manny was wrong,,,,, BOSTON is stupid!

That does seem to be a lopsided trade. did they really want to get rid of him that badly. There is not chance the Sox win either WS without Manny (or Ortiz for that matter)

They have put up with his antics for so long. Why the need to get rid of him now. They are in a race with two other very good teams in their division(as opposed to other years when its just NYY) and they need his bat in the line-up.


They should have sucked it up for the last two months of the season and parted ways in the off season. Not a good trade

Just in : The Red Sox are picking up the remainder of his salary. This makes no sense

In a 3 team deal, the LA Dodgers have acquired Manny Ramirez, Boston has acquired

Jason Bay, with the Pirates picking up players yet to be named.

Craig Hanson and Brandon Moss to Pitt From Boston

Andy LaRoche and AA pitcher to Pitt from LA

Dodgers get Manny

Sox get Bay

He wanted out and they said "don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out" I watched him the last few games and he was walking to 1st base when he hit the ball. If you want traded, you walk to 1st on fly balls and he got his wish.

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Will you see an Angel/Dodger World Series??

 

[Harvey Dent]

To steal a line from cowheard today, sure Jason bay runs out groundballs but he usually turns to the dugout everytime after he hits

 

[Fishhead]

Craig Hanson and Brandon Moss to Pitt From Boston

Andy LaRoche and AA pitcher to Pitt from LA

Dodgers get Manny

Sox get Bay

Well, Bay should have at least a couple 30 HR 100 rbi seasons in him after this year, if not, this will go down as one of the biggest blunders in Boston sports history.

WTF the Dodgers going to do with all their Outfielders?

Manny is locked in, now you got Kemp, Eithier, Pierre and an awful Jones for 2 spots

 

[Harvey Dent]

did LAD waive the next 2 years of mannys options as well?

Yes they did

Why does Manny want to play in LA?

He will be out of there after this year, no?

It wouldn't surprise me to see Manny in a NYY uniform next season.

One thing for sure...Jones doesn't have to worry about playing anymore..

You are probably right. Giambi's deal is up, Damon is up, Abreu is up. He has mentioned before that he wanted to play in New York and he will no doubt want to throw it in the Sox face. You know Hank with throw the bank at him
