Here's the latest. MLB.com says we're moving closer to the three-team deal. The Pirates could receive a minor leaguer from the Red Sox. Dejan Kovacevic says the Pirates would receive four or more prospects for Bay, as well as Hermida. John Grabow could end up in Boston or Florida. Perrotto says it could be expanded to have Jed Lowrie go to Pittsburgh and Jack Wilson to Boston. The Bucs also like Red Sox prospect Hunter Jones.


:eek:


Final Deal

Red Sox Get:
OF Jason Bay

Dodgers Get:
OF Manny Ramirez

Pirates Get:
OF Damien Moss
IF Andy LaRoche
P Bryan Morris
P Craig Hansen

8:50pm: Will Carroll believes the Commissioner's Office has been informed of a Red Sox-Pirates-Marlins trade even though the teams haven't agreed on the prospects. Here's how he sees it:

Marlins get Manny Ramirez, one prospect (BOS), and cash (likely Ramirez’s remaining salary)
Pirates get Jeremy Hermida and three prospects (two FLO, one BOS)
Red Sox get Jason Bay and John Grabow

Why would the Marlins want Manny?

Because Marlins are in the race, and the Red Sox are appearantly willing to pay all of Manny's contract just to get him the hell outta there.

Because the Marlins are 57-51 and have a shot.

I don't see this happening, though. I want to see Manny go to the Dodgers. Just get him out of the AL and the ALE especially.

12:03am: Baseball Prospectus' Kevin Goldstein believes the Pirates will end up with Stanton, Tucker, and Hermida.

11:21pm: Heyman says there's some prospect haggling but the teams are optimistic a deal will get done. The Marlins and Red Sox seem certain to make a swap, while the Pirates are trying to enhance their part. They are still at risk of being replaced by another club.

Gordon Edes of the Boston Globe thinks a deal may be close, but not done. So we've got journalists on both sides of the fence, but everyone seems optimistic.

10:33pm: The Palm Beach Post says a tentative agreement has been reached, despite Gammons' comments. Here's the deal:

Marlins get: Manny Ramirez, cash, prospect from Red Sox
Red Sox get: Jason Bay, John Grabow
Pirates get: Ryan Tucker, Jeremy Hermida, one prospect from Red Sox, perhaps another prospect from Marlins

Mission 17: Complete

Ugh, I don't like Bay. I don't see why the Red Sox wouldn't just take the prospects that they're getting from the Marlins and keep them. Either that or I could understand them getting Adam Dunn. I just feel like Bay is going to completely crumble in the Boston spotlight.

Its sad that the Manny situation had to come to this, and its amazing how ungrateful most Red Sox fans are of him. If it weren't for Manny the curse would be going on 90 years right now, and I don't think people would be calling David Ortiz a hall of famer. Regardless, I'll be rooting for the Marlins to make a run at their third championship.

Ah. I didn't know the Red Sox would pay for most of Manny's contract. I just didn't expect the Marlins to actually pay sombody.

The Red Sox are smart to dump Manny's overrated ass now. They'll either get a young player in Hermida, who won't be much worse than Manny, or Bay, who is just as good as Manny once you take defense into account. If they get Hermida, they also get a cheap player that's still arb-eligible. If they get Bay, they get good production for one more year, and then they can get their two draft picks.
