ESPN Sportscenter Teaser..Red Sox on verge of trading Manny

[crownsy]

This will get done with the Sox getting Kemp - I love Manny but it would be a good return.

love to see it happen, uncertain why the dodgers would trade a yougn 20 year old power hitter for an aging 36 year old one who will only agree to the trade if he's a FA in 2 months.

love to see it happen, don't think ti will. here's hoping im wrong.

Pros for LA

1 It gives them a better shot at the division this year

2 Kemp's 23

3 We'd probably be taking Jones's corpse off of their hands

4 Maybe we're throwing in a prospect? Reddick? He'd be blocked by Kemp, Ellsbury, and Drew in that scenario.

1. i guess, i wouldnt morgage a all star calaiber yougn kid for an old declining guy just to win a division.

2.23 isnt a young 20 anymore? whats the cut off 21?

3.terrable move on our part. no offseason after mannys cap release. with that albatross

4. i dont think reddick would get it done. they'd probley want an established guy, which i could be good with, depending on who.

[Nerf DPOY]

I thought you were saying he was 20. I was just going for accuracy.

If I'm LA, I wouldn't make the deal either. But maybe they're desperate? It's been 20 years.

I think you got it. We'd have to be eating someone's salary, which would be Andruw Jones probably. Manny is the big bat the Dodgers thought they were getting with Jones and it gives them a much better shot at making a playoff run. Manny and Reddick for Kemp and Jones really does make perfect sense for both sides, i'd love to see what Reddick has, but an OF of Kemp, Ellsbury, Drew is solid for the next 4 or 5 years.

LOL, the SOSH servers just gave up

I can't help but feel somewhat responsible.

From ESPN's Peter Gammons (3:55 p.m.): "People in Tampa Bay think Jason Bay is still somehow going to end up in Boston, either through Florida or Los Angeles."

dont know how its gonna happen but i just had a sigh of relief

[Mean Gerald Green]

LOL, the SOSH servers just gave up

I noticed that too haha.

Manny staying put it looks like. Is anyone surprised the Red Sox appear to have done nothing to improve themselves?

Oh I am, I'm waiting for some good news to filter in here.

how about Kemp and Jones for Coco and Manny?

the problem is with jacoby playing like you know what, coco has actually been winning me back a bit. he's over payed for a utility outfileder, but he sure is nice to have

(also the only guy who showed me anything in the fire department last few weeks, alot of the other guys seem worn out, with the exception of p-dog)

[Mean Gerald Green]

The Marlins asked the Sox for more than the 7 million the Sox were going to pay on Manny's remaining contract AND 2 prospects? This is absolutely the Marlins fault for this falling apart.

[Nerf DPOY]

Manny's been traded according to Edes. No details just yet.
