Manny Ramirez traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Los Angeles Dodgers: What do you think of the trade?

raves +15 by Loose Cannons posted Jul 31, 2008 11:47PM GMT

Jason Bay is going to Boston and the Pittsburgh Pirates get four minor leaguers as part of the three-way deal. Third baseman Andy LaRoche and right-handed pitcher Bryan Morris will go to the Pirates from the Dodgers. Outfielder Brandon Moss and right-handed pitcher Craig Hansen will leave the Red Sox organization for Pittsburgh. The Red Sox will pay the remaining $7 million of Ramirez's contract. What do you think of the trade?

This is the biggest joke in baseball!! All you are doing is putting lipstick on a pig! The Dodgers dont have anyone to protect Manny, when he's up with 2 men on, all they are going to do is walk him. There is no one in that line up that can scare anyone into pitching to Manny. GO ANGLES!!!!!

Well not on all accounts but I always hate when we ( the Bo-Sox) lose a good player but Manny was a pain in the ass, and a trouble maker in the organization.

The Dodgers benefited from this in a way that reflects the genius of Joe Torre and his legendary experience as general manager. It also brings a big name talent to the Dodgers that will fire up the Angelinos.

I am not a big fan of sports but seems like the Dodgers had a win win situation since Mr. Ramirez seems like a pretty good team player.

good analysis, but maybe Torre has more planned to 'protect' Manny.

I don't think we'd get Manny Ramirez without giving up some talent like A.Jones.

Manny will make more errors in the outfield, than homeruns he will hit. He will end up costing the Dodgers the West title

Free player with nothing to lose! I think manny will be on his best behavior. He is in search of a long term contract. I think he will surprise dodger fans in the next two months!
