Jason Bay is a good player. I dont think this is a bad move, in fact it is probably a good move for them especially considering manny's attitude. Look at the numbers this year.

Agreed, if they can do Manny for Bay and not have to give up any prospects it is a fantastic deal. Bay is as good as Manny now and will be an all star for years to come.

Aren't we passed the deadline? The Mets would have to be crazy to let Manny clear waivers to be able to be traded after the deadline.

I saw it posted on an MLB.com site..probably pure rumor, and it would have to occured before the deadline because he would never clear waivers, you're right

That's true, just seems amazing they got that far past 4 without it leaking.

Wow. I cant believe Boston just gave up what all of that for Bay.

Like him or hate him, Manny is one of the most feared hitters in the game.

Gales, you were right.

Bye Bye Bo Sox.

Manny is slipping and his attitude sucks, he is a nightmare on the bases and his fielding is dreadful. He is going to be 37 and simply forced their hand with his actions. Bay's peak is obviously not near manny's but at this point he is a fine replacement and getting rid of Manny is addition by subtraction.
