Well, they've got 90 minutes to decide their finances.

They've got to decide what the fan reaction is going to be, then try to decide what other offers they might want to take advantage of by unloading some of Manny's salary, etc.

 

It's a pretty tough decision for them.

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.

A last minute call to Rizzo doesn't give us an opportunity to deal for another starter if EJax is dealt.

How motivated is Manny going to be if he has to go back to the Dodgers knowing they tried to trade him? My guess the Dodgers know they have to deal him for this reason. Sox or Rays.

There are a few reports, one or two linked in this thread, that the Dodgers did not shop and are not shopping him, the White Sox called them and then a few other teams did, I have no doubt the LAD are pushing it out there that they did not try and shop him, but also, he is playing for a contract when he comes back.

They didn't try to trade him.

 

They were approached about trading him, they asked him if he would be amenable to it, and he said yes.

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

 

And ManRoids is worthless defensively and a terrible clubhouse guy. Oh, and he's had like 60 at-bats this year.

 

We could certainly use an upgrade at DH, but the rest of our lineup hasn't exactly been sucking over the past 7 weeks. And if Manny's on the DL, he's not going to help out much anyway.

Unless they already have a secondary move in place -- or are content picking up some 5th starter fodder on a waiver deal

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.
