<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>As for Ramirez, who would provide a considerable boost to a power-starved Angel lineup, the chances for a deal still seem remote despite negotiations between the teams ?rekindled by the Red Sox ? this week.Boston was believed to have asked for at least four players ? Santana, utility player Chone Figgins and two or three of the Angels' top four prospects, a list that includes shortstop Brandon Wood and second baseman Howie Kendrick. The Red Sox also wanted the Angels to assume virtually all of the $57 million remaining on Ramirez's contract, which runs through 2008.</div>http://www.latimes.com/sports/baseball/mlb...ack=1&cset=true
Wow nice find. Being a Sox fan I really don't want to trade Manny,but if we got Santana(a great young pitcher), Figgins(plays almost every positon), and some prospects then that would be okay.
I'm interested in seeing where he ends up. If he stays with the Sox, or goes to play with the Angels. I've been a fan of him ever since he played with the Indians, so I'll follow (not the team, just Manny) him wherever he goes.

I really think the only player in the MLB that the Red Sox should trade Manny for is Vladdy. They are both on the same level offensively.....I like Ervin Santana and Chone Figgins.....but this is definetely not worth it. And how about a Manny-Vladdy duo..that'll be at the same or even higher level than Big Papi-Manny.
