Bay Traded To...?

" MLB.com is reporting the Pittsburgh Pirates will trade outfielder Jason Bay to the Tampa Rays for a pair of highly touted minor league prospects.

Bay will go to the first-place Rays, who will ship shortstop Reid Brignac and right-hander Jeff Niemann.

The Rays have not confirmed the deal.

I picked the newest article I could find, which was timestamped at 3:46PM EST today...

A lot of the latest rumors before this one had Bay going to Boston in a three-way trade that sent prospects coming back from Boston and Florida (with Ramirez going to Florida).

If the above article I put in the snippet is true, the Bucs may have wanted to get two premier prospects rather than four average so-so prospects (which is somewhat what they received for Nady and Marte).

Anyone have a scoop on Brignac or Niemann?

The Boston deal is the one that went down. Bay replaces Manny Ramirez in Boston, and Manny goes to the Dodgers.

We get (drum roll) ..... LaRoche's brother (among others).

Yes, Andy Laroche being the centerpiece of the deal doesn't make me sleep any better at night, that's for sure. It just makes me wonder if he too has that goofy batting stance...
