Manny Traded...

... to the Dodgers? Yes, it's true. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, Manny Ramirez has been traded out of Boston to Joe Torre and the Los Angeles Dodgers. All day, it seemed a matter of time before the Marlins and Ramirez came together, but in the end the Fish were just asking too much in return, and the Pirates and Red Sox found another dance partner.

The Marlins did make an important acquisition in left handed reliever Arthur Rhodes, but the big catch got away. Time will tell if they have enough pieces to make a run at October.
