Re: Boston Red Sox (MLB 07: The Show)

If you trade any of the following players in one of your mega-deals that we all know are coming, I will find you and kill you:

David Ortiz
Kevin Youkilis
Jason Varitek
Curt Schilling
Dice-K
Josh Beckett
Tim Wakefield
Papelbon
Lester
Ellsbury
Hansen
Mirabelli
Okajima
JD Drew
Everyone else on the team.

Interesting how Manny is lumped into the "everyone else" category.

Re: Boston Red Sox (MLB 07: The Show)

Interesting how Manny is lumped into the "everyone else" category.

I figure the Red Sox try to trade him every year anyway, so you can go ahead and try and trade him, too. I'm sure he'll ask for a trade in your season as well.
