Manny To Marlins Getting Serious?

-Buster Olney reports that the Red Sox and Marlins among other teams are in serious discussions about a Manny Ramirez trade. Boston would likely receive either Jeremy Hermida and Josh Willingham along with two young pitchers. The Dodgers and Padres have began discussing names on a Greg Maddux deal and something could get done quickly.
-Ken Rosenthal says that the Red Sox would take up around all of the remaining 7 million of Ramirez's salary, and he would have to become a free agent at the end of the season and would decline arbitration so the Marlins would get two draft picks.
-Reds GM Walt Jocketty told the Cincinnati Enquirer that he hasn't talked to anyone about Adam Dunn today, conflicting with Jon Heyman's report saying that there were a pair of suitors.
-Peter Gammons and the Newark Star-Ledger report that the Manny to Florida talks are serious and the latter source says that the Yankees, Tigers, Rays, and Rangers have interest in Scott Schoenweiss.
