Ramirez for A-Rod trade remains a possibility

 

 

December 6, 2003

BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox refused to confirm or deny the possibility of a pending trade that would send outfielder Manny Ramirez to Texas for AL MVP Alex Rodriguez.

 

``We appreciate the inquiries and interest today, but we try to adhere to a policy of not commenting on trade rumors,'' Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said Saturday in a statement. ``We respectfully cannot participate in the process of confirming or refuting trade rumors.''

 

Rangers spokesman Gregg Elkin said there were no developments to report, and GM John Hart did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

 

 

Texas owner Tom Hicks was quoted by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as saying talks about a possible trade are continuing.

 

``There are discussions going on,'' Hicks told the newspaper. ``The only way it makes sense for the Rangers is that if there were financial considerations to give us the ability to significantly improve our team in (2004) and beyond.

 

``If that doesn't happen there will be no trade.''

 

On Friday, Ramirez's agent, Jeff Moorad, said talks were underway.

 

``There seems to be a focus that often leads to successful deals,'' he said. ``I've stayed in touch with both clubs over the last few days, and neither seemed optimistic today that a deal was imminent.''

 

Rodriguez told Texas last month that he was open to having the Rangers explore a trade.

 

The shortstop has reached 47 homers and 118 RBIs in three straight seasons. Ramirez had at least 33 homers and 104 RBIs in each of his three years in Boston.

Heys i am just saying what is rumored that would go down

Boston, if they paid down part of manny and took a-rod would be paying 30 million a year for ONE PLAYER. I hope the red sox do it, go for it! Go get a-rod, he's worth every penny :unsure :

Kevin Brown, is the hot rumor to go to the Yankees

Kevin Brown, is the hot rumor to go to the Yankees

I heard the dodgers said "no way". its too good to be true. who wants jeff weaver? I was a lilly fan, and boy was i pissed after that trade. nevertheless, weaver throws 96, and he has 5 pitches...he just has mental problems, like bubba trammel.

they need Kevin Brown The Angels GM has already stated that Nomar is bad deal! Yep your right about the Angels there main focus is Colon right now, but "IF" the Manny/A-Rod deal goes down, Nomar is heading to LA. LA would turn around and send Odalis to Boston and Boston then would ship Odalis to St.Louis for Edmonds. All this is talk right now, but talks are on going with this three players being the center pieces of any move. LA will NOT trade KB if it moves Odalis....mark it down :hat

Nomar is heading to LA. LA would turn around and send Odalis to Boston and Boston then would ship Odalis to St.Louis for Edmonds.

Thats not gonna happen!! "The Dodgers have offered pitcher Odalis Perez for Garciaparra, a trade the Red Sox have not ruled out. Washburn, however, has played in the American League, started postseason games and won 18 games in 2002." LaTimes sources
