Manny Ramirez's agent, Scott Boras, speaking yesterday on the Dan Patrick radio show, said that (obviously) the Red Sox were not on the list of teams that left fielder Manny Ramirez would be willing to play for next season, and he added that Ramirez was never comfortable living in the city:

"He was playing in Boston and he realized that he was not comfortable living in the city of Boston. He liked the organization, he liked his teammates, he certainly liked the success they had, but as far as living in the city of Boston, it was a place that he just really preferred to live in a different environment."

Boras also disputed the notion that the country's economic troubles should have any impact on the price that teams pay for free agents this offseason, saying that baseball has been well-managed, that revenues are up, and that the game does not face the same kinds of issues that other businesses face. Boras' clients include Red Sox free-agent catcher Jason Varitek.
