Theo Epstein's in-season deals
On July 31, 2008, controversial Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez was dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-team trade right at the trading deadline. In the deal, Ramirez was shipped to LA, and left fielder Jason Bay was shipped from Pittsburgh to Boston. The Pirates received third baseman Andy LaRoche, brother of Red Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche, and pitcher Bryan Morris from the Dodgers, and righthander Craig Hansen and outfielder Brandon Moss from the Red Sox.
