Manny Ramirez Traded to the Dodgers

Slugger Manny Ramirez’s tumultuous relationship with the Boston Red Sox is finally over.

Ramirez has been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Red Sox will pay the remaining $7 million of Ramirez’s contract owed for this season. Ramirez, the MVP of the 2004 World Series, remains one of baseball’s best hitters and has enjoyed lots of career-defining moments with the franchise. But his relationship with the Red Sox went sour again recently, prompting the All-Star outfielder to agree to the deal.

Outfielder Jason Bay is going to Boston and the Pittsburgh Pirates get four minor leaguers as part of the three-way deal. Third baseman Andy LaRoche and right-handed pitcher Bryan Morris will go to the Pirates from the Dodgers. Outfielder Brandon Moss and right-handed pitcher will leave the Red Sox organization for Pittsburgh.
