May 31, 2008: Red Sox future Hall of Famer Manny Ramirez became only the seventh player in major league history with at least 500 home runs; at least 1500 rbi's; at least 1000 walks; 475 doubles; and a career batting average of at least .300.

May 17, 2008: Phillies centerfielder Jayson Werth became the 18th Phillies

July 3, 2008: Yankees will send Andrew Brackman; Darrell Rasner; Dellin

Betances; Scott Patterson; and Jose Tabata to Cleveland for C.C. Sabathia if
and only if Sabathia agrees to sign a 4 or 5 year contract extension with the Yankees

by July 30, 2008. It's a win win deal for both teams. Cleveland would be crazy to turn down a deal like this; and risk getting nothing for the free agent Sabathia. No team will make
him a better offer.
