Manny Ramirez Thinks He’ll Be Traded For Brett Favre
July 30th, 2008 | by HG |
Props to Big League Stew for this picture of Manny Ramirez and his thoughts on being traded. You gotta give it to Manny, that’s funny. Too bad the Green Bay Packers are reportedly offering Brett Favre $20 million to stay retired because I can already picture Manny Ramirez doing the Lambeau leap.
The Major League Baseball trade deadline is 4 p.m. ET, and my money says the deadline will come and go without Manny Ramirez changing teams.. Even if Manny is trying to talk his way out of Boston.
“The Red Sox don’t deserve a player like me. During my years here, I’ve seen how they [the Red Sox] have mistreated other great players when they didn’t want them to try to turn the fans against them.
“The Red Sox did the same with guys like Nomar Garciaparra and Pedro Martinez, and now they do the same with me. Their goal is to paint me as the bad guy. I love Boston fans, but the Red Sox don’t deserve me. I’m not talking about money. Mental peace has no price, and I don’t have peace here.”
That’s some solid “get me the hell outta here” shit talking, but will it do Manny any good? If Ramirez gets traded his on the field situation won’t be better than the one he’s in now. Mental peace is important, and if Manny gets traded he’ll probably be able to start resting his mind at the end of September.
