Manny Ramirez is involved in trade rumors EVERY year but he has FINALLY vacated boston like NOMAR & PEDRO before him! He said BOSTON didn't deserve him, but I guess Joe "NY YANKEE TORRE does instead...[I love how Joe said "I wish we had the DH!" ..someone needs to get back to the AL...soon..hmmm]
Outfielder Jason Bay is going to Boston and the Pittsburgh Pirates get four minor leaguers as part of the three-way deal.
Third baseman Andy LaRoche and right-handed pitcher Bryan Morris will go to the Pirates from the Dodgers. Outfielder Brandon Moss and right-handed pitcher Craig Hansen will leave the Red Sox organization for Pittsburgh.Manny will help LA while Jason Bay might have more trouble in the AL...but should produce for Boston. Will Manny make the Dodgers a serious contender?!?
Plus the Ken Griffey Jr trade I mentioned in the previous post is also OFFICIAL.
Wow...Pudge, Keng Griffey Jr and Manny Ramirez -- 3 Future Hall of Famers were traded this year...that's A LOT!
