So remember earlier in the day when we told you that Manny Ramirez was about to be dealt to Florida… yeah, he’s not. But he still has to pack his bags because he’s moving from Boston to Los Angeles. That’s right, the Dodgers have signed him in a three-team trade involving the Sox and the Pittsburgh Pirates, where Boston gets former Pirate and permanent Canadian Jason Bay and the Pitt gets a bunch of minor-league players… maybe enough to field an okay team in 10 years!

The Red Sox traded embattled slugger Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers late Thursday afternoon, SI.com has learned. Jason Bay is headed to Boston as part of the deal, SI.com has learned. The Pirates will get four minor leaguers in the three-way trade. The Red Sox went back-and-forth with the Marlins and Dodgers as the 4 p.m. ET deadline approached. Ramirez said earlier today, as first reported by SI.com, that he would accept a trade to any team.

So will the Dodgers go above .500 for the rest of the season now that they have the big bat the’ve needed since Kirk Gibson left town? Who knows, but we can’t wait until they find him wacked out on whatever off Sunset Blvd in three weeks.
