Would You: Bay for Manny?
According to various reports, both the White Sox and Angels were working on a deal with the Dodgers for Manny Ramirez.
Ramirez has put up strong offensive numbers, but has been shackled with injuries most of the year. The Dodgers seem to be doing just fine without him, and though aren’t actively shopping him, they could be open to moving him.
That said, if the opportunity presented itself, would you trade Jason Bay for Manny Ramirez?
Manny is currently on the DL — as is Bay — and his contract is up at the end of the year. Bay has three more years plus an easily obtainable option left — about $60M in value. Considering their financial issues, I doubt very highly that the Dodgers would be interested in Bay, but let’s just pretend that finances weren’t an issue for Los Angeles and they would be amenable to a deal — would you do it?
