What do you think of the decision to put Manny Ramirez on irrevocable waivers? Will another team -- (gulp) Yankees -- take on the $104 million remaining on his eight-year, $160 million contract? If no team claims Ramirez, will the All-Star slugger get traded?

Manny is a pain in the butt. With that said, WHAT A STUPID MOVE!!!!!! Have Lunkhead Luccinno and Theo Pupstein ever heard of Trade? the ghost of Dan Duquette really is running this team. Can you say Clemons?

As a Yanks fan I can honestly sit back and laugh at this because down here in NY we laughed at the contract the Sox gave to a DH. Face it Ramirez is a butcher in the field. The fact is that no one is going to take this childism egomaniac. There may have been a time that King George was interested but after Game 3 this year which featured Manny and Pedro acting as infants that Yanks have no desire for this guy. Besides with Vlad Gurerro out there why would ANYONE want Manny?

James, Oakland NJ

Great move! You don't need prima donna players like him and Pedro to win championships. I even hope the Yankees take him! Next move: Pedro - then we'd have the salary needed to put the right players in place and keep the ones who are Red Sox to the core like Varitek and Nixon.

Edward, Northeastern PA

As a Yankee fan.... WE DON'T WANT HIM!!

Tom, Bradford, MA

He's not going anywhere and he is now going to be even more of a headache next year...he gets his $100 million no matter how many RBIs he has or how many games he plays. Guaranteed contracts have to go!!

Matt, Norwood

Don't get mad, get Vlad.

Dave C, Allston

If this is what we have to do to keep Nomar, Trot, Tek, and Derek Lowe, then I'm all for it! They're all Real RedSox. Manny is nothing but a selfish, self-centered baby. Here's hoping Boss Steinbrenner takes him... that way, he can cry to his mom in person when things don't go his way, and can hang out with Enrique Wilson every night of life.

Kevin, Summit Hill, PA

Hope George picks him up. Then we can trade Nomar to Texas and take on A-Rod's Salary.

Joe , Hanover, Ma

I hope someone does claim Manny.He is a great hitter,but a team distraction.He has proved over and over that he is more interested in himself and not a team player.The Sox have enough hitting and can replace him .How about Pedro next!

Frank, merrimack nh

this is gay! dont wave manny... hes one of the greats on the team... waive nomar or someone like that! nomar only has a good bat not a good glove but manny has those both good things
