Who's really the bad guy here; try everyone.
The Red Sox have been trying to get rid of this guy for years, putting him on WAIVERS for Christ sake, a first ballot HOF player, World Series MVP and they put him on waivers because Theo didn't want the guy. Wasn't his signing, he wanted him gone, was willing to let him walk and get nothing for him. Theo ended up OVERPAYING to get rid of the guy.
Now that they look like fools for doing the trade (the new kid is doing ok in left, good for him, while Manny is tearing a new ******* into the NL), they go and cry to MLB to investgate what happened; investigate what? How can you prove a guy jaked it, because he's a house of fire now, that means he jaked it? What do the Red Sox front office people hope to gain from all of this, it's idiotic, plain and simple.
Manny's agent, who stood to make nothing on the last two years of the contract, put a bug in Manny's pea sized brain; the Red Sox are disrespecting you (oh yeah, 20 mill a year is really disrespect), they don't want you, etc etc, so he jaked it to force a trade. Why didn't Manny just STFU and play ball for the next two years; because his ******* agent stood to gain nothing, so shoot your way out of town Manny and I'll get you a HUGE deal; only the Yankees are dumb enough to offer him a four year, 100 mill contract, which they will, just like they did with Damon, overpaid for a guy on the back nine. Manny has haunted the Yankees for so long, they'll overpay to get him for what, the downside of his career?
And we come to the real idiot in all of this, Manny. God gave him quite a talent, the ability to hit a baseball, one of the five best right handed hitters of all time. Notice I said hitters, not fielders (and to think Manny was actually upset he didn't get to play his natural position, right field; could you IMAGINE that train wreck in right field at Fenway, Lord save us).
The jury is still out as to whether Manny ever wanted to play here; he thought the Indians would match the offer of the Red Sox and he'd remain an Indian. Remember when he first came here how unhappy he was, asking if the club house guy in Cleveland could come here, I think at one point he offered to give the money back in order to go back to the Tribe. He's the idiot who signed a contract where the club held the option on the last two years of the deal, only and idiot would do that as he'd be 37 and 38 in the last two years of the contract. Moron. And he isn't happy even if the option was picked up, he wanted the last two years ripped up and new contract given. What's the matter Manny, 160 million isn't good enough for you.
Please Borr******* and Manny, spare us all the buffoonery and just play out this year and sign with the Yankees next year and be done with it.
And please Red Sox front office/ownership, count your millions and millions of dollars worth of profits since you took over the team spare yourself the embarassment of all of this investigation pile of horse**** and move on.
