Red Sox Hub Trade Rumor Central July 29th 2005
This from Joel Sherman of the New York Post:
"The Red Sox will listen to offers for discontented Manny Ramirez, but do not believe they can be satisfied enough to move him. Boston officials are telling clubs this is not like after the 2003 season when Ramirez was put on waivers and anybody could have had him simply by picking up his contract. That was done, to a large extent, to create the salary space to take on Alex Rodriguez.
With a bad trade market now and a horrid free-agent class upcoming, the Red Sox do not see which players they can spend the money on to make dealing Ramirez worthwhile. Mets GM Omar Minaya long has been fascinated by the idea of obtaining Ramirez, but he has not spoken to Red Sox officials since the winter meetings about the outfielder." Minaya Loves Manny
Matt Clement is expected to miss 1 start, according to a Sox official.
