They Did It, They Finally Did It

Yep, if you haven't heard the Boston Red Sox finally traded away Manny! No more Manny being Manny...well in Boston at least lol. Mr. Ramirez is headed west to the L.A. Dodgers in a 3-way deal with the Pirates which sends Jason Bay to the Sox. [TRADE DETAILS]

As a Yankee fan I'm ecstatic by the news because the Sox definitely didn't get any better by trading him to the Dodgers and right now we're only one game behind them. Boston might go from World Series champs to outside the playoffs looking in. Sad. lol. Meanwhile we just added Pudge Rodriguez who helped the Marlins beat the Yanks back in 2003.

In other trade deadline news, the great Ken Griffey Jr. was traded to the White Sox earlier giving him his first real shot at a title in his entire career...well if the Sox can hang on in the AL Central.
