John Henry 'Personally Offended' By Manny Being Whiney

Herald: John Henry Fires Back at Manny
'Behind the Back' Comments Are An Affront to Sox Owner

�I find remarks that we have been anything other than completely straightforward to be personally offensive." -- 7.17.08, John Henry e-mail to Boston Herald


That's Just Manny Being Petey

Scott Boras Has Manny Stealing a Page from Pedro's Exit Plan

�I want no more (expletive) where they tell you one thing and behind your back they do another thing. I think I�ve earned that respect, for a team to sit down with me and tell me this is what we want, this is what we want to do.�-- 7.16.08, Manny Ramirez to the Boston Herald

Sounds Like Deja Vu All Over Again from the Dominican Diva II

''I sacrificed a lot of money by not being a free agent the next two years... I'll let you know what I deserve." -- 4.9.03, Pedro Martinez after the Red Sox picked up his $17.5m option seven months early

Based on John Henry Caving to Pedro, Manny May Have a Point

"Initially there was an issue of respect, but with the conversations we had, that faded away. I don�t think he believes that anymore. Then the issue of trust came up. A feeling on Pedro�s part that maybe we didn�t trust him that he�s healthy. By picking up the option now, we showed him that: 1. We trust you, you are healthy 2. We're committed to you." -- 4.7.03, John Henry on the Red Sox picking up Pedro's 2004 option in April 2003
