We knew these stories would come out within 24 hours of Manny Ramirez being traded to the Dodgers. It happens almost every single time the Red Sox lose a player; whether it be Pedro saying he would have stayed for an extra year on his contract or Johnny Damon whining that Boston didn’t offer him enough money.
This time The Globe mentioned in an article that Scott Boras tried to bribe the Red Sox into keeping Manny.
“If the Sox dropped the option years on his contract – which they had agreed to do if they traded him – Boras said RamÃrez would not be a problem the rest of the season.”
Are you joking? This pretty much confirms that Manny was causing problems because he didn’t want the Red Sox to have control over his destiny for the next 2 years. It’s looking more and more like every “Manny basher” around town was right.
