Phillies lead in Manny Sweepstakes

    一些熟悉Manny交易案討論案的人士告訴SI.com, 紅襪隊已經和費城人及兩個其他的球
隊討論超級球星Manny Ramirez可能的交易案。
　　
    費城人現在可能是達成這項交易案的領先球隊，只要紅襪和費城人這兩支球隊可以達
成這項交易的的話，費城人顯然已經表示有意願讓Manny來到費城人隊。紅襪的官方人員幾
天前承認費城人是可能交易Manny的球隊，而費城人也表達了意願。

    其他兩支對Manny有興趣的球隊則不是很清楚，但是自從Ramirez公開對球隊高層表達
不滿後，有消息表示道奇和馬林魚隊都顯示了對Manny有一些程度的興趣。假如這是真實的
話，薪資總額只有2200萬的馬林魚隊會有興趣是比較令人吃驚的。道奇隊則不讓人意外，
自從道奇的老闆Frank McCourt買下球隊後，便一直在收集紅襪隊放出的球員。相信在和道
奇隊討論這項交易案中提到了Matt Kemp的名字。

    就在Manny曾經提到在波士頓這個熱愛棒球的城市有某些程度的不舒服之後，紅襪已經
好多年沒有提到關於Ramirez的交易案了。而在過去幾年雖然還是有這樣的聲音，紅襪隊還
是決定要留住這位不太愉快的長打者。
　　　
　　交易這麼有貢獻和關鍵時刻的打者看來有很大的風險，但是一些波士頓的人士相信紅
襪隊最終已經到了要改變心意的點了，因為Manny幾週前批評紅襪隊的高層，然後他又被
批評在對上洋基隊的第一場比賽不想上場比賽。

    目前還不清楚紅襪隊會想從和費城人這項可能的交易中拿到什麼。但是，左外野手
Pat Burrell和Manny有類似的統計數字(Burrell 103場比賽打出.277/.400/.585，有26支
全壘打，61分打點; Manny 98場比賽則是.304/.400/.538有20支全壘打，68分打點)，所
以邏輯上是合適的人選。就像Ramirez一樣，Burrell也有不可交易的條款。在過去幾年，
Burrell表達的意願是只有交易到紅襪或洋基他才會放棄不可交易的條款。

    假如這項交易有可能完成的話，加入Ramirez將讓費城人隊變成棒球史上最恐怖的打
線之一。費城人的攻擊能力最近有點下滑，如果可以加入預定進入古柏鎮(名人堂)的
Ramirez可能會是很大的提昇，Ramirez與費城人隊的總教練Charlie Manuel長久以來便有
友好的關係，當Ramirez在印地安人隊時Manuel是隊中的打擊教練。

    Ramirez在他和紅襪隊的合約中有不可交易的條款，相信會讓Manny在交易中放棄這項
條款，因為紅襪隊應該不會執行Manny 2009年2000萬的選擇權，讓Manny在季後變成自由球
員。Manny今年的薪資同樣是2000萬，他則已經對合約中2009年和2010年球隊2000萬的選擇
權感到不高興。


The Red Sox have been talking to the Phillies and two other teams about a
possible trade for embattled superstar Manny Ramirez, people familiar with
the talks told SI.com.

The Phillies may now be the front-runner for Ramirez, who apparently has
indicated a willingness to go to Philadelphia if the two teams can consummate
a trade. Red Sox officials identified Philadelphia as a possible landing spot
for Ramirez a few days ago, and the Phillies have shown interest.

The other teams in the mix for Ramirez aren't known, but it is believed that
the Dodgers and Marlins showed some level of interest in the past few days,
since Ramirez ignited a public battle with his team. If true, the Marlins'
interest would be stunning in that they have a baseball-low $22-million
payroll. The Dodgers' interest wouldn't be surprising in that their owner
Frank McCourt has collected Red Sox since buying the team. Matt Kemp's name
is believed to have come up in talks with the Dodgers.

The Red Sox have held trade talks regarding Ramirez on and off for years,
ever since he first expressed some level of discomfort playing in Boston, an
intense baseball city. And as in the past, Boston could still decide to hold
onto the unhappy slugger.

Dealing such a productive and clutch player would be seen as a major risk,
but some people in Boston believe the Red Sox may finally be at their
breaking point regarding Ramirez, who criticized upper management a few weeks
ago, then came under fire for not playing the first game of a series against
the rival Yankees.

It isn't yet known what players Boston seeks in a potential trade with the
Phillies. However, left fielder Pat Burrell is having a similar year
statistically (.277/.400/.585 with 26 HRs and 61 RBIs in 103 games for
Burrell; .304/.400/.538 with 20 HRs and 68 RBIs in 98 games for Ramirez) and
could be a logical fit. Like Ramirez, Burrell has a no-trade clause. In the
past, Burrell has indicated a willingness to waive his no-trade provision
only to go to Boston or the Yankees.

If a deal can be completed, the addition of Ramirez would give Philadelphia
one of the most dangerous lineups in baseball. The Phillies' offense has been
struggling lately and could use a boost from the Cooperstown-bound Ramirez,
who has a longstanding and friendly relationship with Phillies manager
Charlie Manuel, Ramirez's hitting coach when the two were in Cleveland.

Ramirez has a no-trade clause in his Red Sox contract, and it is believed
that to get Ramirez to sign off on the trade, the $20-million club option for
2009 would likely be dropped, allowing him to become a free agent at season's
end. Ramirez is making $20 million this year as well. Ramirez has been
unhappy with the $20-million team options in his contract for 2009 and '10.
