sircaffey Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'd happily give up a huge package for Manny Ramirez if JR is willing to do it. There are only a couple players that impact a team more than Manny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no problem giving up Rowand, Politte, and, Everett(for hypothetical purposes only), while taking on that $15+ mill, with those 3's salaries taken out? No problem with Timo becoming the full-time DH(since I'm sure that's exactly what Ozzie would do, because Timo's a grinder)? Manny's a hell of a good hitter...probably the best pure hitter in the AL, second best in the majors to Big Al, since we have no idea what Bonds is going to do off the juice. But he is not worth 2 everyday players and the best statistical reliever in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'm probably the only one who thinks this. But Ramirez is a guy I would rather lose without than win with. The dude is just an asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoelessinva Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'd love his bat without his D or attitude. He's a punk and we better not mess with what appears to be a great clubhouse atmosphere. One bad apple (or a**hole) could spoil the bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well judging by what the rumors are in the proposed three way deal right now, that wouldn't be anything close to the deal that it would take. I don't think Carl would be wanted by either team to tell you the truth. Rowand, Marte, and 2 top spects is more than the proposed Cameron and 2 spects coming from the Mets for Baez and Manny.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 For all the heat Belle used to take I'd rather have him than Sheffield or Ramirez. At least with Belle you know he wanted to win, with those guys it is in doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Manny offers nothing in terms of being a marquee player. He despises & loathes the media. He's one of the best bats in the league today but that's all you get. A consistent league leading RBI leader that can get it done in the playoffs. You can't milk a $ off his name outside of the game itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would anyone know which manny would show up and would Manny want to be traded from any team he was traded to. Best place for Manny is the cubs. they have the money, remember they are sold out every year now the figure they spend on players salaries is nothing compared to what they make . He can't field he'd make things miserable around their small clubhouse. Yes, I would love the cubs to have Manny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 false alarm. ESPNnews said the BBTN crew has learned that Manny WILL NOT be traded. No reason was given for why he was pulled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWhiteSoxinNJ Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The Baseball Tonight crew has learned that Manny Ramirez will not be traded, ESPNews reports. OK. Ramirez was scratched tonight and the Red Sox still aren't saying why. His hamstring may be giving him problems again, but it's not just that.

Jul. 30 - 7:15 pm et I wouldn't put too much stock in the Baseball Tonight crew saying that Manny will not be traded. I would be willing to bet that the 3-way deal is still in the works. From what I've heard is that since last night it was up to the Mets to be the aggressors in order for the deal to go through. They were not pulling th trigger on it. And after the problems that Manny caused in the lockerroom a few days ago, I would say that there still is a good chance he will be traded. Especially since Francona refused to comment on Manny's status and why he was pulled from the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
