As I write this, we're not sure where, or if , Manny is going to be traded. It would seem obvious that he will be traded, most likely to the National League. The latest talk on ESPN is a three way deal with the Marlins and Pirates sending Manny to Florida, and Jason Bay to the Red Sox.
It certainly isn't equal value for the Red Sox, but we don't want to pay him 20 million next year, and we know he'll quit on us during the last few weeks of this season, so lets make the best deal we can. I was hoping he would go to the Pirates so he can see how it feels to play 162 meaningless games every year.
I think the Sox are playing so badly that they need a blockbuster trade to wake them up, and just trading Manny is not a blockbuster. How about Varitek or Lowell and some of the young pitchers? That would do it.
Things are never dull in Red Sox Nation.
