I've said for a while I dont think the Sox need to add a bat.

I'll be honest and say that I wasn't terribly upset that KW didn't pay for a bat at the 7/31 deadline. But, if he can get Manny for next to nothing, I'll be more than happy.

Heyman saying multiple teams claimed Manny, it was a fun ride, we're not gonna get him.

I would think if multiple teams claimed him, one might have been an NL team. Otherwise, who would have higher dibs in the AL?

How do you know it wasn't the Twins, Rangers, Rays and White Sox?

Well, for one, the Rangers don't exactly need a DH. The Twins maybe...depends on how comfortable they are with what they have and their revenue situation. The Rays...yeah, I'd still have claimed them if I were them, but they did just add Hawpe.

Really...the Sox are the first team with legitimate reason to claim him in the AL...unless a team decided to block him out of spite. We've got the worst record of anyone left in the race.

to me, the only way he got past the NL was if he made it real clear through back channels he only wanted to go to the AL or stronger words that he would only go to the White Sox.
