The crazy stint with the assault of the 60 year traveling secretary prior to the all star game was the beginning of the end for the front office and when it became clear Manny was going to treat the team and fans to 5.4 second 90 foot "sprints" and refusals to play when the club went to war, the Sox would have given him away for less. I have no idea how good this Pirate is but the outlaw just left town IMO. Say hello to the rest of former Sox Manny, the national league is entirely different and does not play to your skill set. A bigger left field in LA, no wall to allow you to cheat shallow, and a different offensive philosophy will expose you for the limited player and declining hitter you have become. The Sox are playing better already and don't play until Friday..

no offense, but this attitude is pretty much par for the course for how Sox fans have treated stars in the past.
Its pretty much "thanks for the help but dont let the door hit ya".
It will be interesting how they treat Papi as his time is fast approaching.
