Well, 21.00 passed with no comment, other than the stories stating that Manny Ramirez would be staying in Boston.\u00c2\u00a0 Then the news hounds were putting out a story that suggested the Dodgers had obtained Jason Bay.\u00c2\u00a0 Now it looks like the Dodgers got Bay and then flipped him to the Red Sox.<\/p>\n
And all this while I’m watching a live press conference taking place in LA about the 2009 World Baseball Classic!\u00c2\u00a0 Joe Torre is there, looking absolutely enthralled by the speeches.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe he’s thinking about what he’s going to say to his new left fielder when he walks into the clubhouse?<\/p>\n
No doubt there will be plenty of details coming out over the next few hours about trades that have been consummated and the ones that didn’t quite come to fruition.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Over in the U.S., they have the rest of the afternoon and the evening to put the deals under the microscope straight away, so there will be plenty to catch up on in the morning for us Brits that aren’t going to stay up all night going crazy as each new piece of information comes flying out of the ether.<\/p>\n
I’ll review all the trading deadline news, as well as the latest developments in relation to the WBC, tomorrow.<\/p>\n
