WHAT AN IDIOT...A-Rod and A-Jones have to call Manny and tell him to reconsider

seeming that the red sox are really the only team that has a working relationship with boras and many of the sox are represented by him (tek, ellsbury, daisuke, drew, etc.), it was a wise move on mannys part if he wants to stay in boston.

hahaha, these two eogmaniacs were made for each other.

Great point Owunyne. I was about to spout off how stupid a decision this was for Manny before I read your comment. Imagine this pair at a potential arbitration hearing with any franchise...

This is usually when someone shows up and calls Manny shrewd.

This is just Manny being A-Rod.

Gasoline..check. Matches....check. OK, we're good to go!

RSB, wait a minute is Manny being Lowell or is Manny being ARod????? Does Manny have mulitple personalities now????? When does Manny be Gary????

Hey RedSoxBabe, how is this "Manny being A-Rod?" A-Rod got rid of Boras and sought the help of two top-notch lawyers to negotiate with the Yankees about a contract extension. I know you're a Red Sox fan, but in order to argue points such as these, you have to pay attention to sports news outside of Boston...just a suggestion.

Dang,.... I like Manny and I hate Boras. This is a tough one. It DOES however seem to be more aimed at the Red Sox NOT picking up those option years after 2008. But I don't see even a pirate like Boras getting Manny $20M. Personally, I think the Sox WILL exercise the option,... though Manny is preparing for the other contingency. That's how it goes, I guess.

NY_Giants_17, you now have your second Durrell of the day. It was a joke. You have way too much anger against the Red Sox and their fans stored up in your tiny little brain. You best be carefull or your head will explode.

NY_Giants_17 doesn't have any friends yet.

Be the first!

Now this, of course, doesn't surprise me!

Another stupid superstar seduced by the premise that more money will yield more happiness. And that is all Boras is about, more money to enrich himself, even if it is at the expense of his client's happiness.

RedSoxBabe, thanks for the concern. Its not that I have too much anger against the Red Sox and their fans, its just that I can't tolerate stupidity and lack of knowledge. I enjoy a good debate anytime and I thought I might be able to get one here, obviously not. Thanks for tryin' though.

eh, it's Manny looking out for Manny, it's what all athletes do, try and position themselves to get the highest pay day then can when free agency arrives.

It's typical, can anyone blame him?

Can anyone blame A-Rod for trying to get as much as he can ?

We all try to make the most at our current jobs, it is we the fans that pay the enormous ticket prices and Tv subscriptions that keep the salaries up there.

manny. baseball is trying to stop boras. and u go and do this. way to go man

O Manny Great more drama filled Sox news. I lopve the Sox but this is just stupid...
