Agent: Ramirez still wants trade
Boston slugger had said he'd stay
The Associated Press
One day after Manny Ramirez told ESPNDeportes.com that he was "staying in Boston" and ostensibly did not want to be traded, his agent reiterated Friday that Ramirez had not withdrawn his trade request.
"At the conclusion of the season, we agreed to work with the Red Sox in exploring potential trade possibilities," said agent Greg Genske in an e-mail reply to an inquiry about his client's status. "We ... remain open to discussing trade possibilities."
Genske said that he had no conversations with the Red Sox on Friday. Boston has had difficulty trying to find a trade that will give them equal value for Ramirez, who has three years and $57 million left on his contract and can veto any trade.
