The Real Reason For Manny's Trade Demand

mannyhelpdance.jpgWe've heard all the rumors too, and Red Sox blogger Sheriff Sully finally puts the cards on the table: One of the main reasons Manny Ramirez is seeking a trade from the Red Sox, say the rumors, because his wife wants him out of Boston because of "temptations of infidelity." Says the Sheriff Sully report:

I ve been telling friends the last few weeks that every media member in New England has this story but for whatever reason, no one was running it. ... Last season, Ramirez supposedly cheated on his wife of nearly three years and feeling guilty, told her. ...

Without getting into specifics, supposedly, Mrs. Ramirez feels that her husband would be less likely to stray outside of Boston and thus, her demand.

This rumor has been going around for weeks, though we were never able to nail it down either. Though, all told, it's a little disappointing to see Manny go the Doug Christie route. But hey, there are no groupies anywhere other than Boston. So this tactic will totally work, and will be totally worth it.

  • In Manny's defense, he probably had no clue that the woman he slept with wasn't his wife.

  • is he throwing us a hint with the ron mexico jersey?

  • It should be noted that Boston just lost their most prolific adulterer to the Yankees. Maybe the absence of this bad influence will convince Mrs. Manny to stay in Boston, where the "frustrated women have to be in by 12 o'clock" regardless.

  • Actually, he was about to catch herpes, like Ron Mexico. But he dropped them at the last second.

  • isn't this the same kind of rumor that persuaded andy petitte to follow clemens to houston a couple of years ago?

  • Didn't Clemens follow Petitte to Houston?

  • C'mon people... It's just Manny being Manny!!

    The thing is, with Manny, you never know. That event in the photo could have ended in a wild orgy, or it could have just as easily ended with everyone doing a little salsa dancing and saying "yaaaayy!" a lot and going home.

  • 'Til I close the door and I'm jumping your bones 3-1-2's, 3-1-3's (oh), 2-1-5's, 8-0-three's (oh) Read your horoscope and eat some horderves Ten on pump one, these hoes is self serve 7-5-7, 4-1-0's, my cell phone just overloads hmmm...wouldn't it be nice if he got traded to new york...actually wouldn't be surprised

  • good move mrs. manny - - be a total beating so that he'll really never cheat on you. i still think he's heading to the mets...i hope mrs. manny is comfortable with manny and pedro doing manhattan. http://yankees-chick.blogspot.com

  • Yeah Manny to NYC will work great for his marrige. I can just picture him with his 'cousins' up in Washington Heights! If that's Mrs. Manny in the pic, WOW she's a hot little mamasita

  • How come no one digs this kind of dirt up on the Devil Rays or Blue Jays? You know they do it too, and probably even worse because they're completely off the radar.

  • 1. I really can't put much faith in this rumor, as I find it hard to believe that anyone would really feel a ballplayer is less likely to cheat if he's playing in a different city. 2. That is NOT Juliana Ramirez in that photo. She is in this photo on the right, just FYI.

  • "This rumor has been going around for weeks" Um, this rumor was around the day it came out that Manny wanted a trade.

  • cuzins kranepool? You mean like West Virginia Cuzins? Yea, manny will have several of them in tow if he ended up in NYC

  • PLEASE tell me that the fat chick in the picture isn't who Manny cheated with....

  • Wow. Catty. That chick is hardly fat.
