…if not the Boston Red Sox. From ESPN Deportes’ Enrique Rojas.
“There will be no trade, I’m staying in Boston, where I’m familiar with the system and where I have a lot of friends, especially David Ortiz,” Ramirez told ESPNdeportes.com while in Miami on personal business.
The MVP of the 2004 World Series thinks Boston may still try to trade him, but Ramirez has the right to veto any deal and wants to stay in the American League. “I know the American League system. That’s one reason I don’t want to go to the National League,” he said. “I also want to play for a contender, and I think with Boston I’m assured of that.”
God bless Manny, he clearly hasn’t been reading the newspapers this winter.
let me be the first dickhead to say it: just manny being manny.
i would love to believe all the “manny being manny”isms are carefully orchestrated to drive baseball fans in general, and bostonians in particlar, insane but i don’t think it is. but man it would be one of the greatest (not to mention longest running) jokes in the history .
Manny would do himself some good if he pulled a Portis this season…
remember when manny showed up to spring training with his hair dyed blonde? that was my favorite manny moment (non baseball divsion).
