We’re back in the hunt for Manny apparently.

Now the word is we’re offering Ethier instead of Kemp. I can’t believe we were even offering Kemp.

I’m skipping lunch for this, so something good better come out of the trade deadline. Then again, I’m not even pretending to work, so it balances.

You should order a pizza. You can’t pretend to work on an empty stomach!

Maddux deal is dead according to Jayson Stark. Thank God.

I like Colletti’s strategy. Keep on bringing in mediocre players, then DFA the previous mediocre player who you brought in because you thought he’d help you save your job.

Best thing to do right now I think is play hardball with Pittsburgh. Huntington has to make a move to get the organization back on track.

But Bay also has a year and a half left in Pittsburgh. He’ll get less for Bay if he trades later, but he’s not forced to accept a bad deal.

J. Bay supposedly traded from Brignac and Neimann.

I thought the Rays were going to hold for Wade Davis. Guess not.

As soon as I see that.
Will Carroll (12:10:22 PM PT): Does it surprise anyone that the Rays end up with nothing in this trade season?

I like the line before that, that the Astros inquired about Dunn.
F@)! the heck?

Christina Karhl’s burn on Ed Wade is classic.

Junior goes to the White Sox.

Another reason you should try to trade your talent at the deadline if you’re not contending: you’ll lose a few more games and probably get a higher draft pick as a result.

True.
There’s a pretty good chance the Pirates end up getting only a fifth starter for Bay.

I assume you think Brignac is going to bust?

Kevin Goldstein (12:30:50 PM PT): LeverettB24 (Boston, MA): If you were the Red Sox, wouldn’t you take Kemp for Manny?
We have about 129 variations of this question in the que. This deal is not available. I repeat. This deal is not available.

I just sent that same thing to my brother. There was just a collective groan in Boston.

Why do the Jays want Ibanez? Can anyone explain that one?

John Heyman saying a “prospects” for Manny deal being worked on.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
How many outfielders does Ned Colletti want? That would make Manny, Kemp, Pierre, Jones, Ethier. This is ridiculous.
by Tango and Cash on Jul 31, 2008 12:51 PM PDT up reply actions
I like having five outfielders myself.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
Does Colletti think this is little league, where you have one guy in Left-center field, and another guy in right-center field?
by Tango and Cash on Jul 31, 2008 12:53 PM PDT up reply actions
Think of how much Ethier and Kemp will improve our bench.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
That’s a good point. We’d have the best bench ever.

This has to be pyschological, but I’m getting stomach cramps and chills after that sushi.

Bay apparently not being traded to the Rays. Freidman’s being a wuss.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
I think you do this deal. I was hesitant about giving up Brignac because Bartlett is nothing great, but he’s good enough to be a stopgap for awhile longer.
by Tango and Cash on Jul 31, 2008 1:01 PM PDT up reply actions
What a boring deadline. They really need to move the deadline back up to midnight EST. Those were always fun.
Will Carroll (1:16:07 PM PT): Is it too early for mojitos? Is it ever too early for mojitos?
Will Carroll is a girl unless he’s in a cabana right now.

Is drinking a mojito just like eating a mint?

I just remembered Will Carroll occasionally reads this site.

Hoping
for the Rays to get Bay, they are one team that it would be worthwhile for. Maybe they got a great report on Baldelli and backed off. He might be activated this weekend. Talk about strange illnesses, I’m still not sure what he had.
Oh Crap
Will Carroll (1:22:15 PM PT): Manny to Dodgers?
Will Carroll (1:22:51 PM PT): Yep, I have two sources on this one, plus Jon Heyman. NO idea on particulars.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
I’m just assuming we’re going to get hosed on this deal, so excuse me for my early tirade.
by Tango and Cash on Jul 31, 2008 1:28 PM PDT up reply actions
I know this would never happen but LaRoche, Ethier, McDonald, Hu and, I don’t know, Beimel for those guys would probably be fatal in the long term, but a Bay/Manny/Kemp outfield would be damn fun.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
Now I’m reading it was a 3-way, with Bay going to the Red Sox.

I've Been Shown By Christina Kahrl
Christina Kahrl (1:25:35 PM PT): Andrew (Los Angeles): Christina, I think you’re underestimating how much of Kotchman’s value comes from his defense.
It’s first base, and the first order of business at the position is hitting. Like lipstick on a pig, I suppose it’s nice enough, but I want bacon. If you want the Mientkiewicz types, that’s all well and good, but better to find a bopper.

Things got interesting. Does anyone think a Manny/Kent clubhouse could be one serious firecracker in Sept.
I’d rather have Bay also.
oh crap...

Updated 4:28 p.m.: Manny traded to Dodgers
Manny Ramirez has been traded to the Dodgers in a three-team blockbuster, pending the approval of the commissioner’s office, according to a source with knowledge of the deal.
Pirates outfielder Jason Bay is headed to the Red Sox. The Pirates will receive Andy LaRoche and right-hander Bryan Morris from the Dodgers and outfielder Damien Moss and releiver Craig Hansen from the Red Sox.
The Red Sox will pay all of the approximately $7 million remaining on Ramirez’s contract.
