Breaking news: reports are flying in that the Boston Red Sox have now made their major move … or at least the first of the 2008 season … as they have traded maniac Manny Ramirez. This seems to be his final game at Fenway Park.
InGameNow power users are reporting that this might very well be it:
BREAKING NEWS: the Red Sox are on the verge of sending Ramirez to Florida for three players, including outfielder Mike Stanton.
Manny was just looking around the whole park with quite a somber look on his face. I think he knows this is it.
So who fills the void of Manny’s big bat and who steps behind or in front of Papi David Ortiz? I still think that the Sox *need* to call Barry Bonds and sign him to a combo left-field / first-base. Barry will not cause the same commotion that ManRam did … and he is rested and healthy. Or is Matt Holliday available for acquisition?!
