What does everyone think of the Manny trade?

Question

I'm a Red Sox fan but his weird behavior and rude comments over the years have just done it. When he said the other day "The Red Sox don't deserve me" that was it. He's a great hitter, fabulous with guys on base, but maybe he's just not worth it anymore. Comments?

And please, no comments like "Are you just a girl who watches the news?" like someone else said a while ago because I happen to be a big baseball fan. Just so you know. :)

Answer 1

I think is was time for Manny and the Red Sox to part ways.  Manny was a BIG contributor to the recent World Series wins the Red Soxs have had and much respected for that.  If Manny would have continued with the Soxs I believe that respect would have faltered.  And Manny didn't deserve to have that happen. Manny will continue to be < "Manny just being Manny" wherever he goes, and with that I hope the Dodgers and their fans, respect, support and enjoy him as we have.

Answer 2

Red Sox fan here, I'm over it.

He wanted out of Beantown, so be it. He needed to go to California, it's the only state big enough to hold his massive ego.

Okay, maybe Texas. But California suits his over-inflated sense of self perfectly!

Answer 3

Well I'm a Yankee fan, but the Red Sox really needed Manny... Without him, they're not going to do as well.  He was their best hitter and outfielder... And he's pretty much the reason they won the World Series in 2004 and 2007.  I'm telling you, without him, they're not nearly as good.  They really needed him.  But he did say some nasty things.

Answer 4

I'm a Red Sox fan- diehard and for years loved Manny Ramirez - but lately it was just a thorn in the team's side.

Theo Epstein took the risk and kicked his sorry butt to the curb,

About time...

Answer 5

Do you get all weird about taking the trash to the curb?

Neither does Theo!

Alright, he is a good hitter, with this all-star line-up he can hide pretty well, when he wants too. In that line-up he got pitches that he wont see in LA or where ever else Manny is next year...

Answer 6

I think his behavior and the media circus surrounding it was greatly affecting his teammates.  I think he had to go.  I was getting tired of his tantrums.  I'm not going to say "good riddance" but I am relieved that he's no longer with the Sox to cause any more disturbances.

Answer 7

the best thing for the dodgers =)

Answer 8

I hope that the L.A. heat makes the Soul Glow run out of that stupid nappy hair and it runs down his face into his eyes.  

Answer 9

As a Giants fan, I hope the Dodgers continue to play the "speedy" Manny Ramirez in left and the "powerful" Andruw Jones in center in the same lineup every day.

Answer 10

I like that he is out of the A.L

I don't care that you are a girl, I am just REALLY tired of all the Manny questions
