3-Team Deal Completed...

The Manny Ramirez era in Boston has come to a close. Manny has been traded to the Dodgers in a 3 team deal.

Boston receives Jason Bay
Los Angeles receives Manny Ramirez
Pittsburgh receives Andy LaRoche, Bryan Morris, Craig Hansen, and Brandon Moss.

I'd expect LaRoche, Hansen and Moss to be with the big league club right away.

Earlier, Manny was reportedly headed to Florida, but the Marlins would not budge one the prospects they would trade. Pittsburgh then worked a deal with Tampa, to have it fall apart shortly before the deadline. Los Angeles swooped in to help complete the deal.

I think each team came out alright on the deal; LA has a big name for a penant run, while Boston has moved a head ache and a got a suitable replacement, while Pittsburgh got a slew of players that can help now.
