Manny Will Not Be Traded

Found July 28, 2008 on Lansdowne 9:
PLAYERS: Manny Ramirez,  Manny Ramirez
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox,  Colorado Rockies,  New York Yankees

Is it me, or has Boston really over-done itself on this one? The biggest story in Boston sports, as of today, is that of the dilemma surrounding Red Sox outfielder, Manny Ramirez. Ramirez has supposedly "challenged" the Sox with a statement that leads many to think he wants out. "Enough is enough. I'm tired of them, they're tired of me. After 2008, just send me a letter. You don't even have to call my agent or whatever." Ramirez later went on? "If the Red Sox think they can find a trade to make the team better, and both sides are going to be happy, I'm going to agree." Obviously, Man-Ram is calling out management on this one, but what is the fuss all about? I'm hearing raves and rants bout how Manny should be sent to Philly, the Mets, the Rockies yadda, yadda yadda. The fact of the matter is, Manny will not be traded under any circumstances, nor should he.

  • Nice post ddumont! He's not going to be traded and there's no way in hell Theo is bringing him back for twenty million. You would think that with that much ability and playing in front of the greatest fans in the world that nothing would stop you from playing in the biggest game of the year. Not Manny! The Manny being Manny lines aren't funny any more. He's becoming a distraction this year with his actions.

The great Manny debacle of '08

Via Sox Addict  |  July 29, 2008
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...

Manny Ramirez Cuts Hair, Goes Hitless

Via You Been Blinded  |  August 15, 2008
Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager Joe Torre asked Manny Ramirez to cut his hair, and Ramirez has complied if you count an inch being taken off of his dreads as haircut. The before and after picture above doesn’t show a lot of difference but Joe Torre is cool with the trim up. “He took a little bit [...]

The Villification of Manny Ramirez

Via Sports Crackle Pop  |  July 26, 2008

Boston Red Sox: Five Things to Look Forward to in 2009

Via Jorge Says No  |  March 27, 2009
1. The return of Big Papi-Last season was simply not the same for the Red Sox. Besides the fact the Sox did not make it to the Fall Classic, the beloved Big Papi missed a significant amount of time because of a wrist injury. The Red Sox lineup was never fully in sync last season, especially after the Sox traded Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers. If Ortiz is healthy and productive in 2009...

On Ron Darling's "Mockery" Comment About Manny

Via Awful Announcing Inactive  |  October 03, 2008
So a few people wrote in about a moment from last night's Dodgers-Cubs game and I wanted to explore it a little bit today. Manny Ramirez had just hit a solo shot to centerfield off of Carlos Zambrano, and when going through the highlights, Ron Darling noticed a little smile that Manny flashed right before the pitch. Forget for a second the awesomeness of smiling at a pitcher...

Marlins Trade Rumors - Wednesday - Manny To Miami?

Via SporTech Matter  |  July 30, 2008
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 Hermida...
