ESPN's Peter Gammons believes the three-team Manny Ramirez talks will stretch into Thursday and that a deal is still unlikely to be completed.
It's been 40 minutes now and no one has joined Will Carroll in saying that the deal is done or even all that close to being done. Skepticism is still warranted.
The classic ESPN context, stretch hte story and then have 30 reporters covering the story in Boston.

This is a terrific post. BTW, the Dodgers are working hard on some big deals. I wonder if OC is one of them.
NO

This game is over! Division is ours! We're clearly the better team!
Or are ridiculous over reactions only allowed when we're losing?
Well played!!

Rays haven't, Twins haven't, and it can be argued the Tigers didn't do anything to help themselves.
Twins will get Liriano back, just as good as a trade.
Drays will make am ove.

I'm surprised you're not used to it by now. When has he ever made a big splash at the deadline?
and it bothers me every year.
