Manny Deal in Jeopardy

Update 2:40 pm: The proposed 3-team deal is dead. Jason Bay has just been traded to Tampa Bay for prospects Reid Brignac and Jeff Niemann. Manny is still in Boston with 20 minutes left before the trade deadline.

[End Update]

The deal is in jeopardy right now. Some in the Red Sox front office don’t want to trade Manny.

Also, Pittsburgh wants prospects Mike Stanton and Ryan Tucker from the Marlins; Florida is not wanting to include Stanton in the deal.

The Chances of this deal going down are said to be 50/50. Pittsburgh could still deal Bay and Grabow to the Red Sox if the Marlins aren’t involved.
