Manny to the LA Dodgers?

Question

what do you guys think about this trade does this benefit both teams, or was this a bad move by the red sox trading manny to LAD?

Answer 1

I think that it may have been a bad move to for the Red Sox.  

Answer 2

Bad move for Red Sox. But we got Manny now! Wow, I'm excited about this.

Answer 3

Bad move by the LA Dodgers.

The Red Sox really had no choice.  Manny was obviously wanting a trade to get out of Boston, and with a discontented outfielder at the middle of the lineup, there was no other plausible move.

Meanwhile, in LA, I'm not sure what they are trying to prove by stacking their outfield with older, slower veterans.  I questioned the signing of Andruw Jones in CF, and now they sign Manny who's not in the best health as of late.  Not sure what they wanted to prove.

Answer 4

It was a three way deal that included the pirates. The Dodgers get Manny for cheap the Pirates get young guys and the red sox get jason Bay. So for the Sox it was Manny for Bay. Bay is a great young player but can never replace manny. Manny basically dared and forced the red sox to trade him.

Answer 5

I think it was a good trade. The Red Sox were pretty much done with Manny and we needed a better person in left field anyway. I think it benefited both Boston and the Dodgers. I t hink Pittsburgh got pretty good players too.

Answer 6

I am a dodgers fan and manny will really help us out. I dont think manny will cause a problem with joe torre coaching.

I think it was a bad decision on part of the red sox.

Answer 7

I DONT CARE IM HAPPY CUZ IM A DODGERS FAN

Answer 8

Red Sox (Great)!

He was hurting them mentally and physically!

- He was not playing games because he didn't want to (He said he was hurt).

- He is not cooperating in the clubhouse

- The team doesn't need a distraction when their in second place and close to being third place!

Anyways, they got a young, talented outfielder (Jason Bay!) I would be happy if I was the Red Sox!

Dodgers (Excellent)!

With Manny Ramirez in the lineup of a contending first place team is awesome!  The dodgers are a great team but with another big bat in their lineup really improves their offense!  

Watch out Diamondbacks!

Good Luck!

Answer 9

Good move by the Sox- we don't have to see a cry baby anymore - good luck LAD, he may play well at first by he'll pout eventually

Answer 10

DODGERS= GREAT MOVE

RED SOX=  TERRIBLE MOVE

PIRATES= OK MOVE

          Dodgers have a logjam in the outfield. Once they find out the three guys to put there( pierre kemp ramirez) It will be great because there lineup is now a little scary and they trade two guys that are alright and on top of that they do not have to pay any of his contract cuz boston did that.

Answer 11

Im a true BoSox fan and im sorry to say that this was a great decision on the Sox because Jason Bay is an excellent player and will be an awesome fielder as well hitter. WELCOME J-BAY!!

Manny will always be remembered as a SOX legend but not everyone loves where you work and when you have it like Manny and have options of going anywhere to make the same money, then so be it. I dont think that Moss and should have been in the deal because Manny is well worth it alone. We will miss Manny being Manny and the Dodgers have definitely gained an excellent player. The Pirates just let go of one of their best players in a long time to get a few regulars.

RED SOX=Good move

DODGERS=Good move

PIRATES=Bad move,shoulda kept J-BAY.

Why is Red Sox giving Jason Bay number #34?

Answer 12

it doesn't change the red sox because they just replace middle-aged manny with a young jason bay

pittsburgh of course gets worse

the dodgers get a homer htting ace in manny ramirez but one concern will be that dodgers stadium is kind of a pitchers park  

Answer 13

fine if they only had put up manny but to include hansen and moss... that just crossed the line..
