Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez is seeking a new agent, possibly with the intent of orchestrating a trade out of Boston, FOXSports.com has learned.

Ramirez, represented by Greg Genske, already is contacting other agents, according to industry sources. He is expected to accelerate the process once the Red Sox's season is over.
The front-runners to represent Ramirez are expected to be Scott Boras, who helped arrange outfielder Gary Sheffield's trade from the Dodgers to the Braves after the 2001 season, and SFX, the firm that represents Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz.

Ramirez, 33, will gain full no-trade protection at the end of the season as a player with 10 years of major-league service, five with the same club. That protection effectively would give him the right to choose his next team.

The Red Sox tried to trade Ramirez to the Mets at the July 31 non-waiver deadline. They are expected to resume their efforts this off-season, and a quick elimination from the playoffs could give them further impetus to make dramatic changes. The Red Sox trail the White Sox two games to none in the best-of-five division series.

Ramirez is guaranteed a total of $57 million over the next three seasons, and his contract includes $20 million club options for both 2009 and 2010. His new agent would not receive commission on his current deal, but would be in position to negotiate Ramirez's next contract.

Ramirez would be a free agent at 36 if his team declined to keep him past '08 and at 38 if his team exercised both his options.

That would be cool if he went to the Padres but that will happen when monkeys come out of my butt.

It would be nice if we could get some new free agents in the offseason.

Why does Manny want out of Boston so badly? The won a World Series last year, the Sox are always in contention and he makes millions of dollars. What the heck is his beef?

Making tons of money on a great team must lose its luster pretty quick or something.

Brian Damage · 10-08-2005, 01:05 PM

I know this probably isn't possible, but I would try and trade him to a team that has no chance of winning like Kansas City, Pittsburgh or Tampa Bay.

He did the same thing when he was here in Cleveland. There is something wrong with this guy.

Brian Damage · 10-08-2005, 02:15 PM

He grew up a Yankee fan and I know he has said publicly that it would be his dream to come here. However, I do not want the guy. Maybe the Mets would be interested.

I can't see Boston trading him to the Yankees.

True, he'll probably end up on a national league team.

It would not make any sense for the Red Sox to trade him to a team within their own division. I see him going to a NL team or a team in the AL West or Central.
