Yeah, no news so far, and SOSH is obviously getting hammered. Rob Neyer's just babbling about "Kavalier and Clay" in his ESPN chat.

Edes on NESN: "I'm being told that a trade has gone down with Manny Ramirez. No details yet, but something is in the commissioner's office."

Jason Bay coming back, sounds like.

why would the pirates want manny?

I don't know why the Red Sox just didn't take Kemp? Obviously there are more players involved than these three.

Kemp almost certainly wasn't offered.
― G00blar, Thursday, 31 July 2008 20:34 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
Whuh-oh.
― govern yourself accordingly, Thursday, 31 July 2008 20:34 (sixteen years ago) link
RACIALISM
actually, I have no idea, aside from Kemp still being wet behind the ears, and Bay having a solid track record of Manny-lite production

The 4 MLers:
Dylan Dylan Dylan Charlie Zink

In the comments of Foxsports: The Pirates will receive Andy LaRoche and right-hander Bryan Morris from the Dodgers and outfielder Damien Moss and releiver Craig Hansen from the Red Sox.

Brandon Moss. I still like Hansen, but he definitely isn't ML-ready.

Ha -- if only it was Damian Moss!

that's a pretty good haul for the pirates imo!

I'm happy for Andy LaRoche.

The Dodgers sure have a lot of outfielders.

A lot of those outfielders are shitty though.
― Alex in SF, Thursday, 31 July 2008 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah -- frees LaRoche from that retarded purgatory he was thrust into because of Torre's luv affair w/ Blake DeWitt, gives them a good-to-go cheaper Nady clone in Moss, a 21-year-old high-ceiling pitching prosect in Morris, and, um, a young reliever (w/ potential, obv) that's been beyond awful in MLB to this point.
Dodgers, meanwhile, are probably going to use Manny to cockblock Matt Kemp s'more, which is just awesome for the rest of the West.

& as much as I'm going to miss Manny, if it shuts up all the fucking moronic beat writers (and maybe Schilling) for more than 5 minutes, I'm all for Bay coming into town.

FUCK THIS BULLSHIT
Tell them Manny's going to a really big farm out in the country where there's plenty of room to roam and a to-die-for play-by-play man calling his games.

ok, i think they can dig the free-range manny concept.
but srsly i've tried to prepare them for this by telling them it was very likely he'd be traded today. they were on verge of tears with just the thought. (7 and 8 yrs old by the way).
