I don't think Manny is going anywhere via trade. Very hard to get equal value for him. I am a Sox fan, and if they trade Manny on my Birthday I will be pi**ed .
I just try to remember that this happens every year with Manny, and every year he is back, and performing well. If he keeps his hitting up I think he should get whatever he wants. If he wants to live & hang out in the Green Monster I say build him a small apartment in there
