Manny looks headed to Miami

Manny looks headed to Miami

by John Perrotto

Multipe baseball sources say the Red Sox are on the verge of sending disgrunted left fielder Manny Ramirez to the Marlins in a trade for a package of three players that included low Class A Greensboro outfielder Mike Stanton, an 18-year-old who is hitting .275/.351/.569 with 26 home runs in 96 games.

"Disgrunted" isn't a word!

Sure it is - it is when you un-grunt after grunting

Manny in three-way deal that includes Marlins, Pirates?

A new wrinkle has been added to the Manny Ramirez to Marlins' scenario. A source told MLB.com that a three-way trade may be in the works.

Under this scenario, Ramirez would go to the Marlins, while Jeremy Hermida would go to the Pirates, and Jason Bay would go to the Red Sox.

The Marlins are not afraid to roll the dice and gamble. Team president David Samson, when asked on the team's flagship station, 790 The Ticket, was asked about the Manny Ramirez rumors.

"The Marlins always seem to be in the middle of everything," Samson said. "I don't know how we do that every deadline. We're spending all day trying to figure out a way where we can get better, to stay good, to try to figure out a way how we could win this thing. Everything is possible."

How would that work? Would the Red Sox pay the entire rest of his contract, cause the sure as hell can't/won't pay it.

But it, give them Hermida just for the hell of it, and while you're at it, take Jacobs too.

Update...

Red Sox, Pirates, Marlins blockbuster looking more likely

As reported by MLB.com's Joe Frisaro earlier this evening, the Pirates, Red Sox and Marlins appear to be moving closer to making a blockbuster trade that would send Jason Bay to Boston, Jeremy Hermida to Pittsburgh and Manny Ramirez to Florida.

Multiple baseball sources have confirmed that the three teams remain in dialogue, and according to a report by the Beaver County Times' John Perrotto, a deal could be done as early as this evening.

There is also confirmation that other players would also be involved in such a deal -- that could include the Pirates receiving a Minor Leaguer from the Red Sox farm system.

This trade would obviously make sense for the Red Sox, as they would be able to deal the unhappy Ramirez for a left fielder that has similar offensive numbers. Ramirez, who lives in south Florida, would likely waive his no-trade clause to move home for two months.

The deal would make sense for the Pirates, who would land a replacement outfielder - Hermida - who will not be a free agent until 2011. Bay is currently under contract for just one more year.

And the Marlins, who are in the thick of the NL East race, have shown in the past that they are willing to mortgage some of their future for the chance to win it now.

Please take Hermida AND Jacobs. Hell I'll even give you Hammer too.

unhappy Manny ain't the half of it!!

Come Manny, come swim with the for a few months :haha:

Quick! Someone give me a ham sandwich and you can have Jacobs

Isn't it ironic that that says "Lost?" Or did someone enhance it to say that?

Yeah, I'm just glad I won't have to constantly hear about him all the time now.

Since they didn't get Manny do you think they will pick up C-MO?
