The only issue for the Sox would be Cameron's health.

Especially when the contract we get in return for Manny has 5 or 6 years left at $16 or so mil (off the top of my head, but about twice as long as what Manny has left)...how does that help us??

I'm now fully convinced that the Red Sox are determined to get rid of Manny simply because THERE IS NO FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY TO GAIN if we consider a deal like that. We couldn't even go after a Konerko or a Glaus, and then Ortiz is unprotected? If we could get a Lastings Milledge involved, maybe I'd be more understanding.
