Time to strike. A straight player deal. Eaton and Jenkins for Manny. No money involved.

If they get Kemp that is just unfair.

Could the Dodgers be that stupid?

ESPN's Peter Gammons reports that the Marlins wanted an extra $2 million from the Red Sox above and beyond what Manny Ramirez was owed in order to complete a deal.

That's an especially absurd thought given that the Marlins are likely to take in more on revenue sharing alone this year than they're spending on payroll. If Ramirez is traded now, it might be to the Dodgers.

The Marlins are a joke of a franchise. A lie of epic proportions

Go get Manny, then swap him to the Dodgers.

Turn Werth and a turd into Kemp or Ethier.

Let's buy the Marlins and use it as puppet organization. We'll trade the Phillies all our best players and prospects. Maybe sometimes we'll have to launder them through Houston to make it look on the up and up. But still, we'll make money and make the Phillies really good. Who's in?

I'm in. We'll still be able to sell the franchise for a profit years down the road.

Kevin Goldstein (12:30:50 PM PT): LeverettB24 (Boston, MA): If you were the Red Sox, wouldn't you take Kemp for Manny?

We have about 129 variations of this question in the que. This deal is not available. I repeat. This deal is not available.

Every trade deadline it's the same story and rumors surrounding Manny. Nothing will change this time around, and manny will still be in boston.
