White Sox Acquire Manny Ramirez

[Sockin]

well according to joe torre manny is supposed to start monday night against the phillies so looks like we wont be getting him till the last minute if we even do

 

He said Manny is tentatively scheduled to start. He has his out and after what Manny did today I would be shocked if he's still in a Dodgers uniform tomorrow.

I'd be surprised if there's not a decision made tonight. Dodgers are probably sick of the circus as well.

Not like Torre would have any so-say in that anyway, but I bet it's going to be for the fans and Manny to get one last "Hurrah"

if we do get him next weekend against the redsox should be interesting....manny against boston nice!

That is the stuff Manny eats up and could give this team a boost.

I haven't seen too many guys hurt their former teams once they joined the Sox.

It could not be more clear that he went up there knowing he was arguing the first called strike.

SUNDAY, 7:02pm: The White Sox will receive Ramirez tomorrow, a source tells Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times (via Twitter). Because the White Sox will be getting Ramirez on a waiver claim, they will be on the hook for the remainder of his salary, Hernandez tweets.

nice reading way more into it than whats there, it was a terrible call period. I'd react that way also, Cedarstrom is a douche.

it's not reading into it more than what it is.....all you had to do was look at his body language when he was walking up to the plate

[greg775]

I just feel like it's possibly too late, and that there will be no interested in the Sox even if we have Manny if the upcoming road stand goes poorly.

 

The delay in this is appalling.

If we wanted Manny, he shoulda been here for the big NY series and definitely hould be there when we play Cleveland, another of the teams we sleepwalk against normally. Time is of the essence to wake up this slumbering team with Mr. Moody.

[BigSqwert]

Damn you Dodgers. We really could have used him these last 2 games.

Ok, so blame Ned Colletti.

This weekend ended too perfectly for the Dodgers in dumping him and essentially waving the white flag. After today, I'm sure there aren't many Dodger fans who even care he's leaving. Maybe he will be a spark, but if the Sox are picking up the entire salary for one month, they are admitting they made some huge mistakes last offseason. I think its going to be too little too late, but I can see where he will generate some interest.

Manny fueled run starts tomorrow.

If the Cubs were 4 1/2 out and they picked up this clown, this board would be laughing at them.

I guarantee you the Twins aren't thrilled to see us get him.

I bet they aren't quiverring either. $4 million would have been much better spent in the offseason.

Jayson Stark is reporting that there still could be a swap of a player for some salary relief.

I wonder about this. Who not on the Sox 40 man is worth $1 million or so to the Dodgers? I'm not questioning you at all, I'm just wondering. I would think if the Sox want significant salary relief, the prospect must be significant as well.

Yeah, I would think at this point the Dodgers would just want to dump his entire salary. We'll see by tomorrow.....
