Let him go.
Sure--try and trade him to someone like the Pirates or the Giants, and see how fast that tune changes

Don't take Manny's words to heart, it's like getting mad at your dog for typo's.

Just keep him batting 4th, and know he was big part of bringing 2 world championships to Boston.

Manny was not that big a part of last years championship with 19 homers and 78 rbi! He was along for the ride in my opinion!

You pick up his option for next year and you are signing him to a $20,000,000 contract! You will never get him off to another team in a trade because he is not worth $20,000,000 and no team wants a 38 year old player for that kind of money....and for only 1 season! They trade and they want a few years in the deal!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Manny wasn't along for the ride in the 2007 post season, he was behind the wheel -

"In the 2007 Postseason, Ramirez batted .348 with 4 home runs and 16 RBI."
