• Latest in Manny: Dead Like Disco

  • Seems like everyone now thinks the Manny Ramirez deal is dead. The hangups range from the Marlins not willing to give up better prospects to the Marlins demanding more cash to John Henry hating the deal. We’ll know for sure in about 2 hours.

    Update: Jason Bay is about to go to Tampa so the 3-way Manny deal is dead as currently constituted.

    Update 2: Now it looks like the Pirates and Red Sox cut the Marlins out of the deal and closed it with LA instead. Alas, it was fun while it lasted.

    • I don’t think this is a bad deal. At 21, Gaby has yet to show the talent everybody was looking for. His record this year hasn’t been that great (5-8 this season with a 6.47 ERA in 17 starts for Triple-A Albuquerque and Double-A Carolina). As the Marlins pitching depth has increased, it may just be that Gaby’s star has dimmed a little.

  • … and Bengie?

  • If Manny wasn’t enough, looks like the Marlins are serious about Bengie Molina and offered a trade that I think many fans will sign up for in a heartbeat. This from the Palm Beach Post:

    In other trade talk, the Marlins reportedly are talking to San Francisco about sending first baseman Mike Jacobs to the Giants for catcher Bengie Molina.

    For all the negatives Fish fans see in Jacobs, he is a nice player who could hit quite a few bombs into the Cove. Let’s hope the Giants feel the same way because this would be a nice deal for both teams. This will allow Jorge Cantu to move to his newly discovered position at first base and also allow the Marlins to bring up Dallas McPherson who leads the whole baseball universe in home runs.
