Manny May Be Traded

Breaking News: During an interview Thursday morning on WEEI's Dennis and Callahan, Red Sox President and CEO Larry Lucchino said the Red Sox would be entertaining offers to trade Manny Ramirez leading up to the trading deadline. Lucchino (seen above and below not staring at Hazel Mae's chest) confirmed that Manny asked to be traded, citing privacy issues. Lucchino did say a trade was unlikely because of Manny's salary.

During the interview Lucchino said he would not be surprised to see Matt Clement make his next start, despite being hit in the head with a line drive Tuesday night. Clement reportedly rejoined the team in the middle of Wednesday's game and according to a clubhouse insider, "You would never know any thing was wrong with him."
