PLAYERS: Manny Ramirez
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox

Jerry Remy was in the midst of his weekly morning interview with Dennis & Callahan on WEEI when he confirmed Manny's intentions of getting out of Boston. When asked about whether or not the clubhouse would be disappointed if Manny departed or the players and management would give a huge sigh of relief, he had this to say: "Well, you know, we've been down this road so many times. And, you know, this is probably going to be one of the final times, I mean, it's over. Whether it's over tomorrow, or whether it's over at the end of the season. I think it's going to be a mixed bag. You're going to have players come out and say, "What a great job he did for us, he helped us win two championships". On the other hand you're going to have some guys quietly say, "Thank you very much", because they were not happy when he didn't play in those two games. One against Seattle and the other against the Yankees. And basically, eno...

The great Manny debacle of '08

When something big happens in the world of sports, I am the guy that everyone rushes to talk to. On Monday mornings my desk becomes a traffic jam of people saying "hey Mike, did you see that play over the weekend?" or "I can't BELIEVE the Bruins didn't win that game." I usually love it and enjoy spending the first 20 minutes of my day talking baseball...

At The Wire: Manny To LA

As the Dealine approached all eyes were on Manny. The proposed deal from last night involving Florida, Boston, and Pittsburgh appeared completely dead. And it in fact was. That didn't mean Manny would be in Boston tonight. It looks like Manny will be with former rival Joe Torre in sunny LA. Manny to the Dodgers and as with the previous Florida-Boston-Pittsburgh deal, The Pirates

Schilling chimes in on Manny saga

Curt Schilling had some thoughts on the Manny saga... get the scoop at The Bottom Line.

Manny and his lollygagging

Boston fans have known for years that Manny Ramirez isn't exactly a cheetah on the basepaths. He can turn it on when he wants to but rarely does he want to. No example of this is better than the one from Tuesday's game where John Lackey almost no-hit the Red Sox. Manny hit a ball down the left field line that Chone Figgins fielded at the deepest point in the infield. Figgins...

Manny to Phillies update: Gillick says no

Rumors flew around the internet yesterday about the Red Sox wanting to part with Manny Ramirez and how the Phillies were his personal number one option. There has been plenty of speculation that the Phils have at least discussed going after him and that the Red Sox have inquired, but, according to The New York Times (article found via MLB Trade Rumors) GM Pat Gillick was quick to...

Marlins Trade Rumors - Wednesday - Manny To Miami?

Manny Ramirez entered the market on Sunday as more of a complicating factor than a real trade target. There's a lot of conflicting reports, but the fact is that very few teams could take on Ramirez and return the kind of even-up players that the Sox would need to make the deal. One good source told me that he had heard that the Marlins were involved, willing to give up Jeremy...

Manny Ramirez To The Marlins Might Be Dead, Dodgers Offering Kemp?

If this rumor is true, Ned's just reached a level of stupidity that even I didn't seriously think was possible. "The Red Sox, on the other hand, will try to deal Manny Ramirez even if the Pirates fall out. They can't do a deal to just the Marlins, but the Dodgers and one other mystery team have been contacted. The Dodgers are thought to be offering Matt Kemp."

Phillie rumor round-up: Maddux won't come to Philly, Werth on the block?

With the trade deadline about 24 hours away, two new Phillie rumors have surfaced, both come via MLB Trade Rumors: Maddux won't come East: The Phillies are still searching for pitching and asked the Padres about Greg Maddux, who has the right to refuse any trade. Maddux has repeatedly said he will only accept a trade to a West Coast team, so he has declined to go to Philadelphia...

Welcome to Massachusetts, the BAY State

Who would of thought it would come down to this? Manny Ramirez literally threw himself out of Boston with both his mouth and actions. It started by a slap to Kevin Youkilis' face, preceded with a shove to the team secretary, and continued with his big mouth to ESPN DePortes. Today marks the end of the Man-Ram era in Boston, and to be quite honest, it's sad. Granted the...

Now I Gotta Root For Jason Bay?

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town. Everybody loves you, so don't let them down. -Eagles Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! He's gone, and we couldn't do nothing about it. That's that. There was nothing we could do about it. Real greaseball shit. Manny's a Dodger. Couldn't they have gone into a room? Hashed this thing out. Hashed this thing...

Manny Ramirez: Good Riddance!

The hardest part of this saga to swallow isn't that we had to give up so much to give away a future Hall of Fame slugger still in the tail-end of his prime (for free, mind you), but how quickly everything erupted. Within one month Manny went from fan-favorite, just Manny Being Manny, to a senior citizen abuser (which we overlooked), to the scourge of the Earth and the biggest...

Manny being Manny: Los Angeles Edition

Well just as we all thought the trade rumors were dead and the Marlins weren't going to be able to start another quest at buying a World Series, Manny gets traded. Ramirez will join my former Tribe veteran Casey Blake in LA. The Red Sox moved him in a three team trade involving the Dodgers and the Priate.... I see now Dom beat me to it, but a little more reading and in depth...

Phillies back atop the NL East

Rumors of a Chase Utley injury are greatly exaggerated. Utley hit a homer for the second day in a row and the Phillies got a strong outing from Jamie Moyer to lead them to a 8-5 victory over the Nationals. It was their fourth straight win, and with the Marlins beating the Mets today, it moves the Phillies back into first place in the NL East by a half game. Utley hit a two run...

Red Sox v Angels: Bigger Fish To Fry
