I am stunned at the way that Manny Ramirez gets away with not giving his best effort while collecting more money than most of will see in a lifetime. I was more surprised that other teams wanted to trade for him given the way he has played lately: not running out grounders, not even being adequate in left and just plain ole not playing for the hell of it. I guess the other teams thought that they could keep him from being a disruptive influence, that the problem was all Boston. Now the Dodgers will actually get a chance to find out if it is true. I wish them luck. I think they will need it.
