redandwhite Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view...articleid=18882 ``How long is (Pedro) planning to stay, three years?'' Ramirez was quoted in the article. ``I'll loan them a contract. Whatever they want. How much do they need? It's for Pedro.' ``I am serious,'' he said sternly. ``I want Pedro to stay. Pedro's the heart of the team. He's been here so long. I think it's going to be a sad moment to see him leave. That's why I said what I did. It's really no problem for me. Hey, how much money do I need?' Manny Ramirez = class act Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Wow, I never really liked Manny, but that's pretty cool. I don't know if it'll work out or not though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Wow, considering all the bad press ManRam gets it is cool to see him want to help the team get Pedro on board any way he can. That is pretty cool. I don't see Konerko offering some of his money to bring Maggs back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Can you imagine Frank Thomas doing that??? I can't imagine anyone on this team doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I can't imagine anyone on this team doing that. My thoughts exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 Manny's never been the guy whos been all about the money, its been his agent Jeff Moorad. He just wants to have the fans like him, and shelling out millions of dollars is definitly helping.. which brings me to the point, maybe we have to start booing the hell out of Konerko so he defers some money to Maggs.

redandwhite Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 but nobody on this team makes close to manny money either... but there are players on this team who are just as overpaid as Manny.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldmember Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 but there are players on this team who are just as overpaid as Manny.. i'm not arguing that. i'm just saying we're joking about a guy (konerko) that makes what 8-9 million a year to defer a million or two to help sign mags. while manny makes 20 a year and defers 5 mil. manny's deferment is easier to swallow...

YASNY Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 You guys are actually buying into this BS? The player's union won't let Manny do that (see ARod/BoSox fiasco) and he knows it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldmember Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 were talking about millions of dollars here.. i dont know about you but to this day i dont give away my milk money... i don't either but, then again, i don't make anywhere close to the million dollar range let alone multiple millions of dollars...

The difference is from what I've heard is that Manny is willing to give his already earned money to the Henry group, as opposed to A-Rod who was lowering his per year dollar amount on future years.
