With rumors flying everywhere tonight, It appears Manny might have played his last game for the Red Sox. According to Will Carroll from baseballprospectus.com, the Red Sox, Pirates and Marlins are very close to a 3 way trade.
Marlins get Manny Ramirez, one prospect (BOS), and cash (likely Ramirez's remaining salary)Pirates get Jeremy Hermida and three prospects (two FLO, one BOS)Red Sox get Jason Bay and John Grabow
There is still potential for this to fall apart over the prospects and if Manny chooses to decline, but after reading what he told Enrique Rojas of ESPNDeportes.com, He wants O-U-T OUT!
"The Red Sox don't deserve a player like me," Ramirez said. "During my years here I've seen how they [the Red Sox] have mistreated other great players when they didn't want them to try to turn the fans against them.
"The Red Sox did the same with guys like Nomar Garciaparra and Pedro Martinez, and now they do the same with me. Their goal is to paint me as the bad guy. I love Boston fans, but the Red Sox don't deserve me. I'm not talking about money. Mental peace has no price and I don't have peace here."
If we can't make this happen, Manny probably will just shut it down. If it does happen we'll get an all-star in return and a quality arm for the bullpen. Stay tuned!
