Man-Ram agrees to become a Marlin

Just saw on ESPN deal is close to dead

daggerkobe · 07-31-08, 12:21 PM

What?????

Just said it was a done deal what 20 min ago.

Maybe Theo came to his senses and realized trading his best hitter wasn't a good idea.

daggerkobe · 07-31-08, 12:22 PM

well at least it gives me hope he'll be traded to the Dodgers.

Willing to give up Kemp.

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 12:59 PM

deal done or not now? :O

2hrs left to do it if so..

daggerkobe · 07-31-08, 01:15 PM

I think the deal is done.... just not sure which team he's going to.

I'll be pissed if the Dodgers lose him because they didn't want to give up Kemp, who is on pace to strike out 200 times while hitting less than 20 HRs.

reports manny trade is dead now??

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. The Pirates will get four minor leaguers in the three-way trade.

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.

Manny Ramirez's stormy relationship with the Boston Red Sox appears to be over.

A baseball source has confirmed Ramirez has been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, ESPN.com has learned.

Jason Bay is going to Boston as part of the deal, Jayson Stark reported. 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 orgianization for Pittsburgh, ESPN.com has learned.

Dodgers gave up NOTHING!

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 03:55 PM

dodgers are a stacked team

if their players recover.

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 03:56 PM

topgame85 · 07-31-08, 04:00 PM

Dodgers blow they score two runs a game! pitching is sick but no offense, so what are they gonna do now score 3 a game with manny hitting one solo shot a game? They are not very much better with manny

Um, they just got a guy named Manny Ramirez. Yeah, he can hit a little.

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 04:06 PM

Manny
Kemp
Martin
Loney
Ethier
Kent
Blake

Furcal likely back in early September.

That's the best lineup in the NL West. Not sure how you can say they "suck". Seems like you have quite a bit to learn about baseball.

Great day for my Dodgers futures.

daggerkobe · 07-31-08, 04:18 PM

Man-Ram:

.......Avg HR RBI
2006 .292 45 144
2007 .321 35 102
2008 .296 20 88

Dodger's best power hitter 40 year old Jeff Kunt:

2006 .292 14 68
2007 .302 20 79
2008 .255 10 44

And Dodgers only gave up a guy who can't hit major league pitching Andy Laroche and a guy who had Tommy John surgery in 2007.

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 04:18 PM

run base like jaun pierre!!!

Absolutely.

Dodgers are 26th in the majors in runs and 28th in HRs. They needed to make this deal. And to give up only a guy who can't hit major league pitching and a minor league pitcher who just had arm surgery???????? WOW.... Ned Colletti is a GENIUS!!!!!!!!

max_asdf · 07-31-08, 04:28 PM

dodgers are good

csan they beat webb + haren though

topgame85 · 07-31-08, 04:32 PM

It was a good move by the dodgers getting manny but they already had big names in their lineup who have produced jack so far and I don't think that manny coming over is goin to lead to a big change in run production that is my point
