    The Sox should have just picked up his option a month and a half ago when he asked them too. Them not doing so is what got the ball rolling on this thing.

    MLB.com reporting Jason Bay to Tampa for a couple prospects.

    That all but confirms the Manny to Florida deal as being dead.

    whats the next move and what happens if they cant get a deal done today? obviously you can still trade but i would assume it complicates the situation.

    reid brignac cant be happy about this. at least the park is nice. A friend of mine is pretty close to him and they were ecstatic when he was called up recently (yet sent back down).

    jason bay on a contender. hes gotta like that.



    how crazy are the marlins. wtf

    MLB.com now saying the Bay to Tampa not offically, and amy not happen. One of the two prospects (didn't say who) is "unavailable" according to the Rays.
    Boston Globe reporting that the talks with the Dodgers ain't happening now.

    Deadline passed as I was typing this, and no word yet. I doubt seriously this is over.


    Sounds like they may have not really been interested, so threw out a crzy azz offer. If it goes through great deal for them, if not, oh well.

    Gordon Edes has reported a deal has "gone down with Manny".

    no other details just yet.

    Am I reading to much into the wording of using "with" instead of "for" :huh:

    Edit" now worded as "a trade with Manny has gone down"

    I'd be shocked if they give up Kemp.

    I may file for divorce for having to miss that trip.

    yep

    word is that neither Kemp nor Ethier was involved.
