I heard from one source

Kemp and a pair of prospects for Manny, Hansen, and Lowrie.

Sounds somewhat plausible, at least, but take that with a huge grain of salt of course.

If that’s true, what great deal for the Dodgers

Apparently it wasn't

Since it’s now a three-way deal. Still think Kemp might be involved, though, so it wouldn’t be a total strikeout on my part.

4 prospects

If Pittsburgh get 4 quality prospects for Bay, that could be really good for them.

Damien Moss, Craig Hansen, Andy LaRoche and Bryan Morris.

Per Rosenthal.

dodgers gave up

only LaRoche and Bryan Morris AND they get Boston to pay $7M of his salary?!?

This can’t be right!

it seems like they got what they wanted...

they wanted Bay through some other team, one way or another. I don’t think its that bad of an outcome for the Sox.

i think Boston having to pay $7M surprises me

they gave up Manny AND two prospects/young players for Bay?

Only way the Dodgers would have agreed to the deal

by DerekSTheRed on Jul 31, 2008 3:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

no

they gave up Manny, 2 prospects, and cash for Bay.

i think, after all the drama, that they had to make the move. they just had no other choice. it would have dragged them down the rest of the year.

Jason Bay

is a pretty awesome player himself.

by FirebatM3 on Jul 31, 2008 3:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

they are contending

there isnt another available OF better than Bay. they had to replace manny.

it makes sense to me.

the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is

by DSheppard on Jul 31, 2008 3:49 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I guess they couldn’t get any better, but they still got screwed. Manny >>>>>>> Bay talent and money wise. Yet they had to add 2 prospects and $7MM in cash to get the trade done. They really put themselves in a bad position.

Manny's fault

Manny put them in the position.

Ramirez, Jones, Ethier, Kemp, Pierre...

That’s a lot of OFs for a National League team.

So... about the job with the Rangers?

i still cant believe they gave him all that cash this offseason. horrible miscalculation.

Pirates outfielder Jason Bay is headed to the Red Sox. 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.

by scooterr on Jul 31, 2008 3:42 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

It's Brandon Moss, not Damien Moss.

Rosenthal’s typo, per Bob Nightengale.

Yep

looks like the trade happened. Never question The Shaughnessy.

Josh Hamilton is better than you.

Shaughnessy

i hate the CHB. such a beating to listen to the guy.

by 6th street on Jul 31, 2008 4:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Jason Bay is a legit power hitter and the only reason no one really knows about him is because he has played for a horrible team in the Pirates. I do believe Manny’s attitude was hurting the Red Sox and I would look for the Sox to pick up the pace now that they have a perceived cancer gone. Manny dogged it a whole lot! Over 5 seconds just to get to first base?? thats pretty funny.
