Go get ur Scott LA we would lov to take Manny from you.

I bet not, I thing he may be the chip KW is waiting for rizzo to come down on. Well see 64 minutes to go.

I would be okay with a Torres/Harell 5th starter but we'd have to get another pitcher in august. Sweaty has ben great but I don't know if we can trust him to last the rest of the way. I really did like EJax in our rotation.

No Viciedo!!!!

SI_JonHeyman jackson for dunn is still a possibility. but nationals want #chisox to add another player or 2 8 minutes ago who going to pitch? torres? Harrel?

Dunn is in the lineup

Heyman was. Would anyone else be okay with Matsui?

He was really the last supporter of the deal going through.

SI_JonHeyman #chisox, #dodgers far apart on manny. doesnt look likely. 1 minute ago ouch

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:58 PM) I'm not giving KW credit for being interesting and making things fun. You gotta get s*** done. And it's looking more and more like the only upgrade is a guy with an ERA over 5 and just overall mediocre pitcher. If nothing happens it is not due to KW trying. It's clear he has he had a deal for Berkman, wants Dunn badly, inquired on Manny. Like I said give him the benefit of the doubt

Heyman right now in MLB: Sox are still interested. Willing to talk money and players. Sox will take money and dodgers will too. Still early stages no players talked about. Dodgers focus on Lilly right now. But he does admit Sox are very much interested but are waiting on Dodgers.

TBrownYahoo Source: Just to be clear, the Angels are not in on Manny Ramirez. They are not the third team. Still White Sox and Rays... 10 minutes ago

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:54 PM) I'll give credit to KW for being creative. He obviously thought he could get a good deal (cheaper than Dunn) for Manny. If that doesn't happen then so be it. Yep, you have to love our GM makes things interesting. Hopefuly he has another few hours of edge of your sit drama left in him. I really hope we get SOMETHING.

With multiple reports saying this is over looks like KW may have moved on and will check back later hopefuly.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) And? I was backing up a previous post as to where I heard the Heyman and Brown stuff.

It's not about the Steriods. The majority of baseball were juiced and yes even sox players probably many sox players included. It was a culture in baseball, it's too bad but get over it. What is about is adding a great hitter a true professional hitter to a great team that just bolstered their rotation. Manny is a smart move.

Heyman and Brown were just on MLB Network

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:40 PM) A last minute call to Rizzo doesn't give us an opportunity to deal for another starter if EJax is dealt. KW checked on Brett Meyers late last night to pobably check the price (Wandy Rodriquez is also available). Rock Haun would be on the ready to call the stros to add a pitcher last minute. Cowley is a joke, he is taking credit for this when he was on the radio saying the name was not Manny. Heyman say sox still interested. LAA and TB also in on Manny. Viciedo will not be in deal. Brown- sox interested. If nothing else this sets up a deal in August. LA kinda wants to move him but are still in it at this point.

That's a lot of time. It is CLEAR Kenny wants a bat, IMO we will be acquring a bat before 3. He will make 2 last minute calls: 2:49- KW: Mike it's Kw you ready to move Dunn. Chose your pick of 4 or 5 prospects plus Santos. Or EJax+ one or two spects. Hopefuly his price would be down by then. I'm sure KW hasn't even called Rizzo today has him sweating over no calls and Manny rumors. If he says no.... 2:56- KW calls LA and offers Flowers+Morel or pitching for Manny and his salary.

I understand Ram got caught doing steroids and all but you folks are underestimatng Manny. He is with out a doubt a top 5 hitter in all of baseball in this decade. He also hits in agruably the worst division for hitters all those parks but coors are pitchers paradise. His home ball park is death valley at night. He would absolutely RAKE in the Cell and relish the opportunity to focus on hitting only and play for a new contract. This would be the better than Dunn productin wise but Dunn offers better balance.

KW would consult with OZ and PK and Buerhls before s day like this. And prob has. Oz would love him.

Andruw Jones is nowhere close to the hitter ManRam is! Not now or the last three years.

Pretty sure Maggs was a juicer, based on the Ozzie comments after he left the team.

He'll be a lot healthier not having to play outfeild every day. Buster_ESPN And I think we can safely say this: Kenny Williams has officially earned the title as The Damned-The-Torpedoes-Full-Speed-Ahead GM.#trades 8 minutes ago Buster_ESPN Just wondering: Why would the Dodgers not want to move Manny Ramirez, to shed dollars and perhaps create room for other stuff?#trades 11 minutes ago Kenny Kenny Kenny
