Agreed. That bites.

UPDATE:


Updating an earlier blog entry, there are conflicting reports about whether or not Bay will in fact be headed to Tampa Bay.

A short while ago, a source in Pittsburgh corroborated an earlier MLB.com report that Pirates outfielder Jason Bay is going to be traded to the Rays before 4 p.m. ET this afternoon. As reported earlier, the Pirates are believed to be satisifed with taking shortstop Reid Brignac and pitcher Jeff Niemann in exchange for Bay.

However, it could be a little more complicated that that. According to another industry source in Pittsburgh, the Rays still are not believed to be offering both Brignac and Niemann. One, it is not known who, is deemed unavailable, along with Wade Davis, David Price and Jeremy Hellickson.

Ken Rosenthal from FOXSports.com adds-Updated 3:49 p.m.: Manny trade talks back on?

The three-way Manny Ramirez blockbuster may be back on, with Pirates outfielder Jason Bay headed to the Red Sox, sources say.

The Rays were also in talks to acquire Bay in the minutes leading to Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver deadline, but one source has said that the Tampa-Pittsburgh deal is off "unless a miracle happens."

No wonder the Pirates will always suck.

It appears all deals are DEAD!

With the 4 p.m. ET Trade Deadline past, a baseball source in Tampa Bay confirmed that no deal was struck between the Rays and Pirates to send Jason Bay to Tampa Bay in exchange for prospects.

While there remains the possibility that another team could have snuck in an offer before 4 p.m., it appears right now that Bay is staying in Pittsburgh. No other substantial offers were known to be on the table.

BREAKING NEWS:



Manny has been traded per NESN.........details to follow!!!

 

[BobMurdoch]

Cool, as a Mets fan, I REALLY didn't need Manny in a Marlin uniform.....

Yankee fans should be happy, as a disgruntled Manny will continue to distract the Sox..... Unless he realizes his window is closed and decides to get good in a hurry to drive up his free agent value (since the Sox won't be paying him $20 million next year)

edit: CR&P! Spoke too soon?

 

[cosmo_kramer]

Manny traded?
The Globe's Gordon Edes just reported that a deal has gone down with Manny Ramirez. More details to come....

 

[BillD1984]

After all the talks about Bay heading to Tampa Bay or Boston, it appears that the Dodgers may have landed the Pirates left fielder just prior to the 4 p.m. ET deadline.

MLB.com has confirmed that they were a late player in the race for Bay and that it was L.A. One industry source in Pittsburgh believes that a deal between the two clubs has been made.

 

[BillD1984]

NESN is reporting that the Dodgers replaced the Marlins in the three team trade.

 

[Mets82]

I just heard on the Mike and the Maddog show and Evan Roberts and Joe Benigo who are filling in for Mike and the Maddog said that Manny has been traded to the Dodgers.

 

[BillD1984]

Manny traded to the Dodgers per Nick Cafardo on NESN.
