Well its official, Manny "Man-Ram" Ramirez is on his way to LA and Joe Torre while Jason Bay is going to Boston from Pittsburgh. Pitt also received four prospects, two from Boston and two from Los Angeles

Boston gave up OF Brandon Moss and RHP Craig Hansen. Personally I feel like they gave up too much. I understand that they wanted Man-Ram outta there but they also lose the OF, Moss, who they kept around to take over for Manny in case he left. They also got rid of a developing pitcher who can throw the ball 97-98mph. This decision may come back to bite them in the ass.

I have no problem with Bay however. At this point in the season him and Manny have very similar numbers and his defense is definitely better than Manny's.

The team is definitely going to have to step their offense up as a whole. Hopefully this all works out for the Sox, only time will tell.
