    When it comes to Manny, you have to keep up with him daily (hourly?). Last word from the Man-Child is that he loves it here and never wants to leave. Some have speculated that it was Mrs. Manny who asked for the trade due to the lack of privacy (or other speculated "diversions" for her hubby)...

    Actually, it is a 6 player deal - Crisp, RP David Riske and C Josh Bard for Marte, Mota and C Kelly Shoppach. If the deal goes through (contingent on physicals at this point) the Sox are expected to bid for SS Alex Gonzales. Article Link

    Yes, but he coined the nickanme that Globe columnist Dan Shaunessey will take to his grave - The Curly Haired Boyfriend. Although Carl was universally loathed in Boston, for that nickname he just may make the Sox Hall of Fame.

    I've never heard of Marte as anything but a third baseman, so I don't think he's the SS, the Sox have almost as many 2nd basemen as 3rd and we aren't going to platoon 2 3rd basemen at 1st. Don't know if Pedroia is a SS turned 2nd, I thought he was a natural 2nd baseman. Granted, I haven't...

    Red Sox trade Edgar Renteria and cash for Atlanta third base prospect Andy Marte. Looks like the Sox are going to have a great infield next year and for years to come - as long as every ball is hit to third. ;) Joking aside, the prospect will probably be dealt and getting rid of Edgar is a...
