Title: Manny almost traded to the Dodgers yesterday
Post by: Perfection on December 08, 2005, 12:10:13 PM: Manny Ramiez was alomst traded to the Dodgers in a 3 team deal that also involved the Phillies. The Dodgers would've gotten Manny, the Phillies would've gotten Trot Nixon & Derek Lowe, & the Red Sox would've gotten Bobby Abreau. The deal obviously fell threw cause I think Boston realized that they were getting the worse part of the deal & the Phillies also weren't exactly replacing the offence of Abreau if the had gotten Nixon.

They're trying to resign Damon, but Damon wants a 7-10 year contract & the Sox would be stupid to give Damon that kind of contract

I need to catch up on the team, after that dissapointing post season I signed off for a bit. moved from Boston to DC, so I get much less info on the fly like I used to... Then all you needed to do was look at the cover of the Herald to see what the hecks was going on!

They also acquired one of the best 3B prospects out there if not the best, Andy Marte. (Sorry anton, even though u wanted this deal to go through lol)
