Answer 1

Yes they can  would just have to give up these players joel guzman, t.j. nall and carlos santana and Greg Miller.

Answer 2

I dont think the Red Sox can get a caliber of those prospects for Manny.

Why would the Dodgers want to unload a prospect they have been grooming for years for a 2 month rental?

Espeacially when they can tender him a contract (without giving up anything) when the Sox dont pick up the option for next year.

Dodgers are going to get ousted out of the playoffs in the 1st round with or without Manny and thats from a Dodger fan.

Answer 3

yeah i hear the BoSox need a new ballboy so im sure they could send a few to Boston for Manny. but really the only way Boston is trading away Manny is if they get equal or greater value for him and the closest player the Dodgers can send out there for him is The Bison Matt Kemp and that trade isnt worth it

Answer 4

I think that at least two of those would have to be part of the package...probably Kemp and Billingsley to get the deal done.  Do you really want to give that much up for a rental player though?

Answer 5

no. Matt Kemp would have to be in that deal.

Answer 6

No...freaking obviously no.

What do you think the Bosox want Nomar back?

Answer 7

Nope.

Answer 8

They'd most likely have to include Matt Kemp in the trade,so no.

Answer 9

Please, please, please.

Keep Colletti away from making deals.

Every one of his big money trades or signings has blown up in his face. Examples:

1. Schmidt

2. Kuroda

3.Juan Pierre (Way overpaid)

4.Andruuw Jones (batting .169 with 13 RBI's). eighteen million down the drain.

5. Mueller (remember him, the no knees 3rd. baseman)

6. Garciaparra (A permanent DL ballplayer)

7. Furcal (1 decent year) then a second Garciaparra (Always injured).

Answer 10

Why would they want the slug?

Answer 11

the sox would be retarded to trade manny for any who doesnt produce like him and no one is dumb enough to do that

Answer 12

Nope.

I don't think the Dodgers will trade Kershaw because, well he's probably the best lefty pitcher under the age of 25 in baseball. Broxton is desperately needed in that bullpen. Billingsley is not getting traded but I would LOVE to get him for Manny. Loney has no fit. I think if the Dodgers want Manny, it is going to take Matt Kemp and even though they've shown they're willing to sell Kemp, I'm not sure the Red Sox would be interested in Matt Kemp. I doubt the Dodgers can work something out unless Ned Coletti overpays (which isn't out of the quesiton)

Answer 13

A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! lol! I think that if they can do that....that is truly amazing(or they trade like 6 AAA players)

Answer 14

I don't think the Dodgers are willing to give up any of those guys, especially for Manny who would only be with them for 2 months.

The only possible deal I see happening is Andruw Jones for Manny - this would basically just swap two sluggers with huge contracts.  Jones is a huge problem for the Dodgers because of his eternal slump, Manny a problem because he is well, Manny.  I know this is extremely unlikely, but it would be interesting =)

Go Dodgers!

Answer 15

NEVER!! ha ha! will not happen!
