ESPN's Peter Gammons is reporting that an Alex Rodriguez-for-Manny Ramirez deal could be finalized within the next couple of days.

 

Also says that Texas will probably then sign Todd Walker to play 2B and will move Michael Young from 2B to SS.

Dan Patrick just said it could be done in the next 24 hours. But now I have to wait for the Joe Horn story to end until I can hear about baseball.

Not necessarily.....The Sun-Times, citing multiple sources, said the Dodgers were about to give up their pursuit of Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra and turn their focus toward acquiring White Sox right fielder Magglio Ordonez. The newspaper said the prospective deal could land the ChiSox as many as five players in return for Ordonez, with left-handed starter Odalis Perez and reliever Guillermo Mota two of those players. Chicago likely will hold out for at least two of the Dodgers' top four prospects: pitchers Edwin Jackson and Greg Miller, first baseman James Loney and outfielder Franklin Gutierrez.
