Manny ramirez?

Question

manny ramirez to the marlins? this doesnt make sense, im a die hard marlins fan but i dont know if i want manny. jeremy hermida is a big loss. i rather have willingham for manny. how could florida afford manny ramirez? but the redsox will have to pay the remaining of his contract right. but after that how will florida keep him? is he jus a one year guy? im kinda iffy on this

Answer 1

Boston will pay Manny's contract if he goes to Florida, so the Marlins don't have to pay a dime. He will most likely not be with the Marlins in '09 but will help short term for the Marlins to try to win the NL east and be a major contender. I think Man Ram will play RF instead of Left field clearing Josh Willingham's position in LF.

Answer 2

If you guys f*ck this deal up we won't get Jason Bay! lol

Manny can help you guys win the World Series this year. It's basically you and the Cubs right now for the NLCS.

Answer 3

Manny went to the dodgers anyway, so w/e.

Answer 4

On July 31, Bay was traded to the Boston Red Sox in a three team deal. Manny Ramirez will go to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Andy LaRoche and Bryan Morris will go to Pittsburgh from Los Angeles and Brandon Moss and Craig Hansen will also go to Pittsburgh from Boston.

Answer 5

the sox should have tried to get mclouth instead of bay

Answer 6

marlins have 21.36 Mill,  and they would recieve 7 mil  and idc about the marlins im a yankee fan so i want mnny out even if sox are gettin those players, i think hanley and manny want to be on the same team

Answer 7

YES MANNY IS GONE AND BAY IS HERE FIINALLY THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER

Answer 8

Well, buddy Manny is a cool guy. He finished his time on the sox and we are all astonished that he will be gone. My cousin's first words were chanting manny. He just has this laid back way about him but the guys amazing. You definately want manny.

Answer 9

manny went to the dodgers. sucks for you guys. not like you can afford him anyway  

Answer 10

Manny went to the LA Dodges and the red sox got jason bay

Answer 11

Manny's a Dodger

Answer 12

This is how i see it happening:

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

Answer 13

I'd bet so much money that Manny stays put in Boston. If the Marlins were to sign him he would cost more then their whole team.

Well Manny is in LA so im glad I didn't place any bet.

Answer 14

from the marlins' point of view, i find it rather odd as well...he's a free agent after the season and we all know there is no way they can afford the price manny will command after the season, they are going to have to surrender a lot of young talent to get him, and he could be poisonous to a clubhouse filled with young players...it's very out of character for an organization who has traditionally sold off its higher paid players to get their prospects to the major league level, but then again they are very much in the nl east race and manny is a huge boost to any lineup...i could see why they want to do it, but i can see how this can backfire big time, as well

Answer 15

manny got traded to the dodgers
