Red Sox deals Ramirez to Dodgers

LOS ANGELES: The Boston Red Sox dealt Manny Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-team trade just prior to the Major League Baseball's trading deadline on Thursday.

The multi-player deal also included Pittsburgh's Jason Bay being shipped to Boston.

Third baseman Andy LaRoche and ex-first round draft pick Bryan Morris went from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh. The Pirates also received reliever Craig Hansen and outfielder Brandon Moss from the Red Sox.
