Manny Deal Appears Dead

Ken Rosenthal and Jayson Stark have joined Peter Gammons in saying that the three way deal between the Marlins, Red Sox, and Pirates, concerning Manny Ramirez, is dead.

The Pirates are apparently blaming the Marlins and vice-versa. Word is that the Marlins want more money.

I hate the idea of contraction, but the Marlins should have been contracted a long time ago.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. EDT

ESPN's Peter Gammons reported that Florida asked Boston for 2 million additional dollars beyond the amount to cover Ramirez's contract, plus two prospects. Like we said, contract the Marlins.
