Surprise! Manny to LA?

Question

Are you surprise?

Answer 1

YES!!!!! The stupidest trade ever.....The Redsox not only give up Manny but also a reliever for Jason Bay!!! Stupid..Manny is one of the best hitters in the game and all they get is Jason Bay!!! STUPIDDDD!!!I am so pissed off right now you have no idea!!

Answer 2

I am freaking shocked like crazy when i looked and online and saw that he was going to my dodgers I jumped up and screamed. i hope he does good with us so we can beat the dbacks and capture the nl west.

GO DODGERS!!!

Answer 3

24 out of 25 redsox players said manny was going to hurt the team and thought he should be traded, that says something.

Answer 4

Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated broke this story 2 days ago that the Red Sox were in talks with the Dodgers to trade ManRam. The Red Sox wanted Andre Ethier while the Dodgers were willing to give up Matt Kemp. However, he didn't mention the Pirates being involved.

It's not too much of a shocker, but the Dodgers got the good end of the stick. They don't have to pay the remainder of ManRam's salary, and they only gave up 2 average minor leaguers.

Answer 5

Answer 9

not surprised he went to LA....surprised at how b.s. that trade is....sox give up their best hitter (and pay the rest of his contract), another outfielder, and one of their best pitching prospects, and get one average/above-average hitter.  this is gna suck.

Answer 13

this is interesting for LA. this was an all or nothing deal. if he has the right attitude they may be able to dethrone the dbacks in that really horrendous NL West.  

Answer 14

yes thought it was florida marlins

Answer 15

Yes. I didn't think the Sox would trade him once the Florida deal was dead.

Answer 16

Stunned. I didn't think he'd go anywhere.

Answer 17

Yes and pumped. I thought he was going to FLA for sure.

VIVA LOS DOYERS!

Answer 18

Haha.  Remember a couple of years ago he was asking to be traded to LA because he went to a mall there and he was so happy that no one asked for his autograph.

Answer 19

As a Dodger fan, I wasn't that surprised and was actually thinking yesterday that they should go for him due to the lack of power and production from Andruw Jones.

But in all honestly, Boston did not get that bad of a deal. Jason Bay has put up good numbers and never got to bat in front of David Ortiz. Also, Boston rid's itself of the Manny-drama, which during a pennant race can have a negative impact.

To all you Boston fans that think you got ripped off, you didn't. Bay won't put up Manny-in-his-prime numbers, but he's a humble, great hitter, and he's 6 years younger. If the Red Sox would not have traded Manny they would not have picked up his option and he would have WALKED, so at least you guys got something for him.

So, bottom line, everyone wins....Dodgers get a bat when they desperately need one, Boston gets rid of drama at a time when team unity is important, and Pittsburgh who is way out of it gets 4 young players.
