Where will Manny be playing tomorrow?
Any guesses?

I'm leaning more to the side of "anywhere but Boston". I have no idea what team will get him.

1. I think they'd be crazy to dump him
He and Ortiz are one of the most intimidating and potent duos in baseball.

3. That's the most likely place,
as part of a 3 way with Pittsburgh,

as I hear the deal,

Marlins get Manny and cash from Boston and John Grabow (LRP)

Pittsburgh gets Jeremy Hermida and 3 prospects from Florida

Boston gets Jason Bey from Pittsburgh

4. Boston media is giving it a 50/50 shot at best
Nothing surprises me.

It seems to me, though, that he would want to do his best with Boston for the rest of the year in order to score a really big contract from another team (and a hefty commission for Boras) for next year.

5. He'll stay in Boston.
But some other Red Sox player could be gone.

7. Considering he wasn't really "playing" for the last few days...
I am glad he will be in LA. Adios, Manny.

8. I knew his days in Beantown were numbered
when I saw him somersaulting around the outfield looking for that missed fly ball while the GM rolled his eyes in the stands.
