In the deal that sent Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers, Jason Bay went to the Red Sox

as part of the deal, the Pirates got Red Sox pitcher Hansen and OF Brandon Moss

[Lefty Noob]

Hope those guys Hanson and Moss are good prospects. We also got Andy LaRoche, Adam's brother, and a 4th prospect.
Still sad to see Bay go, though. He was one of the few players the fans really could rally around.

[Kasey Kahne 9 fan]

All we had this year that really gave us any hope for any sort of success was Bay, Nady, Sanchez at times, and McLouth. Just like Craig Wilson and so many others in the past few years now 2 of them are gone now so bye to chances of .500. We need to dig in our pockets once this offseason and get somebody give the fans at least a little hope.

Its about time that guy gets his chance to show what he really can do with a winning franchise

[LSC9901]

God it's good to hear someone else call us a winning franchise !!!!

[PhilliezPhan012]

Yeah, as I Bucs fan, I have to agree. We're going nowhere fast and Bay was too good a player to languish on a last-place team.

Very good point but I hear what the other guy is saying. However they could be in a rebuilding mode so just hang in there.

[PhilliezPhan012]

This WILL be a very interesting thing to watch for the next few years

we have had the talent in the past 16 years to do it we just either trade a way our team to "rebuild" or everybody just kind of gives up and stops playing for it. We can get to .500 this year we have an easy enough schedule and the talent to get there but there is no drive.

[Full Cougar]

Ya you need that drive.
