Anyone who says the Phillies are getting Manny Ramirez is a liar.

You're calling Ed a liar?

How did I get dragged into this?

MDS · January 10, 2006, 11:11:22 PM

Maybe because you lie and lie and lie

Is that all? I bet if you asked J. Whyatt Mondesire, he'd say that McNabb should pay the difference.

Would he throw a tantrum over not getting #24 away from the best catcher in Phillies history?

Ed, Ed, Ed... Bob Boone wore #8, not #24.

Bob Boone=Bill Buckner if not for Pete Rose.

Time for an "aviator" change for someone...

so we'd downgrade RF defensively, but upgrade it offensively. sounds like pure PR to me. can't wait to see how many 13-10 , 12-11 games we lose cuz not only can't we keep the other team from scoring, but even when we have a lead, we can't close out the game. god help us if the pitching staff gets any sort of injury what so ever.

Update from ILK 10 minutes ago: Clement and Michaels are involved in the deal, and the $2M per year difference of what the Phils want Boston to pay is the main holdup...

So it's Abreu/Michaels for Clement/Manny?

Unless they've got a more useful plan for that $2M they need to anti up and get this deal done.

Boston has to be paying some of Clements contract, too. The Phillies didnt trade Tejeda for him because they didnt think he was worth it.

BigEd76 · January 11, 2006, 01:18:11 PM

Just a guess, but they're probably trying to determine which of the following will also be included:

Tejeda to the Sox and $5M/yr to the Phils

OR

AAA/AA pitcher to the Sox and only $3M/yr to the Phils

yeah right...two million dollars is holding up a major league baseball deal of this size

BigEd76 · January 11, 2006, 01:27:53 PM

per year, so it's actually a difference of about $10M apart ($25M vs $15M)
