Not a single NL team put a claim in for Laroche who's having a very good 2nd half once again and is healthy but they will put in a claim for a guy who can;t field and has been on the DL 3 times this year?

The Ginger Kid Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Dodgers are within striking distance of the wild card. Might be wise to pull him back if he's claimed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 11:40 AM) Reds? Giants? Â The Giants have already acquired Jose Guillen, Cody Ross, and Pat Burrell. They already had Andres Torres tearing it up, with Aaron Rowand & Nate Scheirholtz as part-timers. I think that OF may be a bit too crowded for Manny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Does any NL team really want any part of Manny roaming in their outfield? Manny is a DH everyone knows this, Manny knows this, that's why he wants back to AL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 The Sun Times reported that Manny has been claimed by the Sox. But that was early this morning. Sounds like speculation at best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_Thomas Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Heyman: SI_JonHeyman while i think #chisox have interest, i still dont see them making claim to pay full $4.3 mil for manny. stay tuned, tho. about 2 hours ago  SI_JonHeyman manny helping dodgers' cause now (both race and trade) with 2-for-2 game. this could get interesting. about 3 hours ago  Buster: Buster_ESPN any real motivation for him to make sure he's in the lineup and playing and productive over the last five weeks of the season. 20 minutes ago  Buster_ESPN If Manny actually demands an extension to accept a deal, it'll kill interest from at least two teams. An extension would eliminate (more) 21 minutes ago  I figured the extension may have been away to scare teams away so he could go to us like he wants. I wish it was Fridy so we could know the outcome.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Kind of awkward though that on the day you honor a guy who did it cleanly, you invite in a guy who didn't.

JorgeFabregas Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'd be surprised if the Sox didn't claim him. The major hurdle, I think, is whether he clears the NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
