文章标题标题:Red Sox tried to formally suspend Ramirez before trade
重点节录:
A week before Boston traded Manny Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers late
last July, the relationship between the Red Sox and their left fielder had
grown so contentious and strained that the club was prepared to take the
extraordinary step of suspending its best hitter, ESPN has learned.
According to multiple sources, Boston management had drafted an official
letter of suspension for Ramirez, and delivered it to him at Fenway Park at
around 11 p.m. on Friday night, July 25. For the second straight game,
Ramirez had refused to play that evening, and the Red Sox lost 1-0 to the
rival New York Yankees in front of a boisterous and sold-out home crowd.
The letter informed Ramirez that the suspension was to go into effect the
next day, Saturday, July 26. It said Ramirez was being suspended without pay
for being unwilling to play. Copies of the letter were also sent to Major
League Baseball, the MLB Players Association and Ramirez's agent, Scott Boras.
For weeks leading up to the July 31 trading deadline, Ramirez had been
complaining of pain in his right knee. After he told Boston manager Terry
Francona that his knee was too sore to play on July 25, the Red Sox's front
office ordered an MRI exam during that night's game against the Yankees.
But on the way to the exam, Ramirez, according to sources, couldn't remember
which knee was sore. So the Red Sox had both of his knees examined. The MRIs
revealed no damage in either.
The 2008 season was the eighth year of the contract, and Ramirez made few
attempts to disguise his desire to become a free agent when it ended,
believing he could sign a more lucrative deal. He did not want the Red Sox to
pick up the option years.
A number of incidents earlier in the season added to the tension between
Ramirez and the Red Sox. Just after the All-Star break, Boston was swept in
Anaheim, a series in which Ramirez reached base in eight of his 13 plate
appearances. But late on Sunday afternoon, July 20, as the team was leaving
Anaheim for Seattle, he initially refused to board the charter flight.
Sources said he told the Red Sox that his knees were so sore, he couldn't
play for three weeks.

大意就是Manny一直希望红袜放弃两年的option签肥约而未果,
在交易大限前跟球队说自己膝盖有伤,
球队要他去做MRI,结果做的时候Manny忘了自己伤在哪一脚 @@
做出来也发现他根本没事,红袜为此差点将他停赛,
最後终於将他交易出去。
在他变成FA的这时候红袜透露这件事,似乎有报复的味道?写的非常酸。
