Manny's gone: The Boston Red Sox trades slugger Manny Ramirez for left fiel
2008-08-01 00:26:00 On Thursday afternoon as the MLB trade deadline loomed, a deal that was once reported as dead to trade Manny, not only has reappeared, but with one change is a done deal. According to MLB.com, the Boston Red Sox has traded slugger Manny Ramirez (as he requested) to the LA Dodgers for left fielder Jason Bay from the Pirates in a three-team deal.Yesterday and then earlier this morning was the first that I had really heard about all of this trading and as a Red Sox fan, at first I thought why would you want to trade such a good player, I know Manny is Manny, but he’s a good player, however problem is, he makes problems off the field, however up until I read these comments:("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 th...

The Idiot File: ESPN's Obviously Biased Coverage; The Manny Ramirez Tagline
2008-05-15 19:39:00 Well, one should never count on "The Worldwide Sports Leader" for fair and balanced coverage (sorry, Fox News) unless you play in Boston, New York or Chicago if you're into baseball.Look at the highlighted portion of the graphic. Do we have a problem here? If I remember correctly, didn't the O's win yesterday? Didn't Jay Payton hit the game-winning grand-slam? I would say Manny Ramirez didn't exactly steal the thunder of the Baltimore Orioles.It's nice and wonderful that the Red Sox and Yankees drive ratings to your network and page-views to your website; however, wouldn't it be nice to perhaps show a little accuracy?Anyone who watched SportsCenter last night knows that the mercurial, goofy left-fielder made an excellent catch, but can't ESPN give the Orioles credit for, um, winning the game?

2008-02-23 12:47:00 Powerful agent Scott Boras confirmed last night that he has added Manny Ramírez to a stable of clients that already includes some of the biggest names on the Red Sox' roster the Boston Globe reported. Ramírez ended his association with Greg Genske, who had represented him since his former associate, Jeff Moorad — who negotiated Ramírez's eight-year, $160 million deal with the Sox before the 2001 season — left the agent business to become managing partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Genske and his associate, Gene Mato, who handled many of Ramírez's personal affairs and went to Arizona to be with Ramírez during Super Bowl week, did not return phone calls seeking comment.Boras already represents pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka and catcher Jason Varitek on the Red Sox, along with outfielder J.D.

Manny Ramirez Has Extra Incentive
2008-02-02 11:14:00 Manny Ramirez had a lot to say yesterday. As a player who doesn't speak to the media much, it's a story when he does. Manny said he wants to be like Julio Franco and play until he's 48. His more immediate concern, however, is convincing the Red Sox to exercise his $20MM club option for 2009. I could be wrong but I don't see a buyout attached to that. So Manny has to prove that he's worthy of a one-year, $20MM contract. Ramirez has a new workout program and vows to be at Spring Training on time. If he has a vintage Manny 1.000 OPS year, the Red Sox will have to exercise their option. And then they get the same situation all over again with a $20MM club option for 2010. Even another "off year" for Ramirez, similar to his .296/.388/.493 performance in '07, would make the '09 option a tough choice. Baseball Prospectus' newly released PECOTA projections have him posting a .281/.381/.486 line in '08.
