Manny says he'd approve a trade
If right deal comes along, left fielder won't stop Red Sox
By Ian Browne / MLB.com




BOSTON -- With Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline looming, Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez said on Sunday that he would waive his 10-5 rights (10 years in the Major Leagues, five with one team) if the club finds a suitable deal for him on the open market.
"What I said was, if the Red Sox, if they think they could find a trade, you know, that's going to make their team better and both sides are going to be happy, I'm going to agree," Ramirez said.



And what if there is no sufficient deal?

"But if they cannot find that trade, it's something simple," Ramirez said. "It's no big deal. At the end of the season, all they've got to do is call my agent and tell him, 'Hey, we're not going to pick up Manny's option for '09. He's going to become a free agent and that's it. I'll go my way, and you guys go your way.' It's something simple."

Though Ramirez has certainly had plenty of highs and lows during his near eight seasons in Boston, he indicated that closure is probably the best thing for both sides at the end of 2008. The Red Sox hold $20 million club options for Ramirez for 2009 and '10.

"I know they've got me, but hey, enough is enough," Ramirez said. "I'm tired of them, they're tired of me. After 2008, just send me a letter or whatever, you don't even have to call my agent or whatever, 'Thank you for everything, you're going to become a free agent, we're not going to pick up your option in '09.'"

Ramirez doesn't seem to expect that the Red Sox will pick up his option in November.

"That's not going to happen, they're not stupid," Ramirez said.

With the Red Sox fighting for their third World Series championship in five seasons, Ramirez also doesn't think that he'll be traded this week.

"Boston is not stupid," Ramirez said. "They're not going to do it. They can say whatever they want. But when it comes to make a deal, they're not going to pull the trigger because they know what they've got here."

Is Ramirez happy with the Red Sox?

"I'm happy," Ramirez said. "But enough is enough, you know?"
