Can the Dodgers,Red Sox, and Atlanta work out a 3-team trade?

Question

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/baseball/mlb/07/29/manny.dodgers/index.html

the Dodgers send prospects to Red Sox for Manny. The Red Sox trade the prospects for Mark Teixeira.

Answer 1

i hope the red sux do this..imagine the problems they would have with ortiz, youk, tex, and lowell all in the lineup at once

Answer 2

Doesn't happen very often, and the Red Sox would have two gold glove first baseman and only three outfielders, the Braves would not have an experienced first baseman, and the Dodgers would be getting a player on the downward spiral of his career. Though it probably wouldn't happen the same way it did with Andruw Jones, you have a potential for the same disaster, especially with Manny Ramirez's bad knee. Interesting trade though. I just don't think it will happen.

(Nine hours later) Yes, I know they won't. Teixeira just got traded to the Angels.

Answer 3

The Sox front office aren't a bunch of morons. Getting rid of Manny guarantees they can't win this year. Absolutely no team would give anything good other than prospects for a 36-year-old problem-causer like Ramirez. They'll let go of him after this year if they're smart.

Answer 4

That doesnt sound like such a bad idea but, I am pretty sure Joe Torre won't put up with any of Mannys c**p.

Answer 5

I think its very possible. Either of those situations.  I think that the Red Sox would take Matt Kemp also some Bullpen help(Broxton? or is he worth too much?) for Manny.  Or they could take on 2-3 prospects and Kemp and swing them for Tiexiera.  I think either situation is posssible and neither will hurt the sox chances.  Kemp's Stats are actuallly pretty comparable to Manny's,  he is much younger and always has been projected as a good player (290, 25,100...which is was Manny is down too now).

I could see this easily happening.

And anyone who thinks Tex will provide problems with our defense is mistaken.  Youk came into the league as a 3B/LF and he could take over the the Left Field Monster for the rest of his career especially since he has played 30 or so games out there already.  Its basically taking a sub par defender and getting a gold glover trading Manny for Tex.

3-4-5-6-7  Drew, Ortiz, Lowell, Youk, Kemp OR

Ortiz, Tex, Lowell, Youk, Drew.    either works

Answer 6

Why would an organazation with one of the best farm systems take prospects from another team for such an awesome player.Makes NO sense.Go home grown all the way and the Braves are soon a marquette team again

Answer 7

yeah it could happen, but i would give much more for Manny that prospect because prospects is always not going to work the red sox's are not building they are already a built team so they needs players now; but yeah sounds good, though.

Answer 8

no, idont want the red sox too get better

Answer 9

Why would the Red Sox trade for Tex when they already have Youkillis at first.  If the anything the Red Sox will go after a SS.

Answer 10

Don't forget, Manny is a 10 and 5 player.  It's really up to him where he goes.  I don't see it.

Answer 11

MMM. I don't think the Red Sox front office is up to let go Manny Ramirez.

Answer 12

no

GO YANKEES

Answer 13

no and where is youkilis goin 2 play if they do... the red sox have to wait 2 try 2 sign him but i think he is goin 2 the yankees at the end of this season
