Manny to the Dodgers?

[Forkboy]

That was what they just reported here in Boston. Said it was a done deal, but no word on for who.

That is all.

1. Sox get Jason Bay from Pittsburgh

as part of that three-way deal.

That's what I heard.

It's not a done deal but those are the rumors.

2. Manny traded to Dodgers, Bay headed to Boston

<snip>

"The Red Sox traded embattled slugger Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers late Thursday afternoon, SI.com has learned.

Jason Bay is headed to Boston as part of the deal, SI.com has learned. Pittsburgh gets pitcher Craig Hansen and outfielder Brandon Moss, both from Boston, as well as third baseman Andy LaRoche and right-handed pitcher Bryan Morris from the Dodgers.

The Red Sox went back-and-forth with the Marlins and Dodgers as the 4 p.m. ET deadline approached. Ramirez said earlier today, as first reported by SI.com, that he would accept a trade to any team.

The announcement will be made in conjunction with a World Baseball Classic announcement at Dodger Stadium shortly.

The Red Sox approached Ramirez in advance of their negotiations, and got his OK. The Red Sox are paying the $7 million remaining on Ramirez's $20 million salary for this year. The two $20 million club options for each of the next two seasons were dropped, which will allow Ramirez to become a free agent this winter."

5. Mike Mussina to throw Manny a going away party!

Woowoo! As a Yankee fan who remembers the many times Manny socked it to the Yanks this is like a gift from Heaven. :bounce:

6. Three Cheers!!!!!

Good to see his worthless butt sent packing. Had he stayed with the Red Sox, one would always wonder if he was giving his all.
Watch the Sox gone on a tear! Another World Series win would be sweet.

7. I wouldn't count on it

the Red Sox got nowhere near fair market value. If they make a couple moves, they might be next year or the year after but as of now you can kiss this season goodbye.

8. It's almost time for the BoSox to rebuild

Mediocrity is about to be the norm for Boston's offense.

Boston's front office brought this disaster onto themselves; luckily for them though they may be able to get the wild card if they're lucky.
