manny and NOOOOOMAAAARRR back together again.

ramirez is kinda off anyway, and him and youkilis despise each other.

makes sense.

interesting to see how he adjusts to the minor..er, i mean national league pitching

As much as Manny might have finally mouthed off one too many times... you can't replace his bat in the lineup. Dude could flat out HIT.

Jim I thought he was bound for the Yankees? Maybe he wouldn't give up the dreads.

Apparently the deal is such that Manny will still be a free agent in November, so I guess he could be wearing pinstripes in April after all *shudder*

SHOULD HAVE TRADED TO THE BRUINS FOR LUCIC IMO

HE'S BIG SO HE CAN HIT, HEREDITARY HUNCHBACK ENSURES PITCHERS HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING STRIKE ZONE l

Imagine being Jason Bay right now! One happy camper I bet.

The guy is not going to want to stay in National League organization on the West Coast, especially not in the weakest division of the entire majors.

It's a win win situation for LA, as Boston is paying him out for the rest of the year. LA picks up a solid bat at no cost. LA is completely lacking in power numbers so picking up someone like Ramirez is going to really help them make that push out of second and catch Arizona.

Now for his contract coming up, I believe that Ramirez has can exercise options with the franchise if he chooses to stay there and they agree to terms. If not he becomes an unrestricted free agent and will most likely be moving.

Bay is on fire for the Sox.
