    Phillies Rumor

    Anyone hear anything about the presumed rumor going around the phillies message board that would essentially send Manny Ramirez and Matt Clemente to the Phillies for Bobby Abreu, Jason Michaels, and prospects? I think it sounds kind of farfetched from a phillies perspective, and think the Red Sox would being getting hosed in this deal if it really is a legitimate. Just wanted to know if anybody heard anything about a deal like this being rumored?

      Manny doesn't want to come here. Hell, Tejada didn't want to come here. Nobody wants to come here. Would you want to play on the most losingest team in sports?

          The red Sox are still talknig about treading him to teams, they're jsut not in as much of a rush or "we need to do this" situation.

          Once Manny realized he would most likely be going somewhere that wasn't on the West Coast(NY or Baltimore) he backed off and decided he'd be better off in a Sox uniform than an O's.

            Haven't heard anything that would indicate that they're legit.

              Yup, right now, it's about as credible as "this well known Phillies poster said it's done.."

              If we were offering that much for Tejada, I'm sure our front office wouldn't blink too much depending on the quality of the prospect(s). My opinion...Manny's gotta stay put, regardless of how hard they're trying to move him at this point.

                I didn't know Roberto Clemente had a son in the majors.

                Seriously tho this deal sounds like a pipe dream from Phils fans.

                      Roberto Clemente, Jr. almost made the major leagues, having been invited to spring training tryouts and having a successful minor league career. However, injuries cut his career short of the majors.

                      The elder Clemente's nephew, Edgard Clemente, had a 3 year career in the majors with Colorado and Anaheim from 1998-2000.

                          Nope i'm serious.

                          Edgard Clemente hit .249 with 8 HR's and 32 RBI's in 114 games with the Rockies and Angels from 1998-2000.




                          Edit: in the time it took for me to find my info ZXLT beat me to the post.

                            It was actually from a newspaper article, because I was listening to WIP the day the rumor came out and the hosts got it from a paper.
