Wow, has it been a rollercoaster of emotions the last 30 min, I love you Ken Williams.

WOO /high five with Kalapse

This is very exciting with a high probability of incredible, crippling disappointment.

Any chance he plays today with the Sox?

None

I think these waivers are irrevocable

 

Is that true? I thought it just meant LAD can only try to make a deal with the Sox, recall waivers, or let it go through.

Let's get a deal done quickly, we could use him Saturday and Sunday.

Any chance he plays today with the Sox?

 

NOPE.

 

GO ROCKIES this weekend!

white sox won the claim for manny

was thinking the same thing, not sure, MLB would probably have to approve, but I think the LAD hold on to see if they can get a player out of the White Sox

I can see LA waiting till Tuesday since they are 5 games out of the playoffs.

If Manny blocks the move now, I'll be really pissed.

oh, from the LAD point of view, yeah, they can pull him back from my understanding, I thought the question was from the White Sox point of view, sorry about that

i think theyll have a trade. cant see white sox paying whole $4.1 mil. so perhaps there was a prearranged trade. tho dodgers winning now

Dude, screw that. KW knows the team needs a shot in the arm. He will get it done.

 

I hope that the Dodgers lose today - They're only 4.5 out of the wild card.

 

Eek - hope that isn't a sticking point =P

Buster_ESPN It's not a slam dunk that LA will trade Manny to the WS; they want to get value in return for the player, and LA just started winning.

don't be stupid LAD

We have until Aug. 31st to make a trade, I would expect to see it stretched out that far since the Dodgers are winning games recently.

look back a few posts, Stark is now saying White Sox won it

 

My bad. My post was delayed before the news was announced.

The ball is in Colletti's court. Now he needs to decide A.) if his team has a realistic shot at the playoffs and B.) If having Manny in the lineup improves their chances of making the playoffs. If Ned says yes to both then Manny's staying put. Unless KW has a very enticing trade offer on the table or has mastered the Jedi mind trick he doesn't have a whole lot of power in this situation.

LA needs a reality check. They are not making the playoffs. On a related note, the sucky play of the Sox over the last three weeks might actually pay off in a big way.

Watch the Dodgers play him tonight and he gets a freak injury.
