Agent: Manny Wants To Stay In Boston

Jun 30, 2006 5:51 PM EST

Greg Genske, the agent of Boston Red Sox star Manny Ramirez told Sox General Manager Theo Epstein that Ramirez wants to stay with the team.

"It's always a two-way street when talking about potential deals or Manny leaving," Genske said by phone yesterday. ``We can only control our side of the street. And on our side of the street, there's no trade considerations. He's happy."

Knee problems are one of the factors that are making the Sox consider trading Ramirez.

Pedro Touched By Fans, Tagged By Red Sox Wednesday Night

Jun 29, 2006 4:17 AM EST

Pedro Martinez was touched by the fans and tagged by the Red Sox.

Boston's former ace signed autographs when he arrived at Fenway Park and heard an adoring crowd chant "Pedro! Pedro!" as he warmed up before the bottom of the first.

Then he gave up four runs in that inning, four more in the third and spent the rest of the game on the sidelines as baseball's hottest team went on to a 10-2 win over Mets on Wednesday night.

"It's not disappointing at all," Martinez said. "The reception I got, I will always remember that as one of the best moments of my life."

Pedro To Face Red Sox Tonight At Fenway Park

Jun 28, 2006 6:48 PM EST

Pedro Martinez is glad to be back at Fenway. Judging by their reaction, Boston fans are happy to see him, too.

The former Red Sox star makes his first-ever start against his former team when the Mets continue their three-game series at Fenway on Wednesday.

Martinez went 117-37 with a 2.52 ERA in seven years with Boston, winning two Cy Young awards and helping the Red Sox capture the 2004 World Series, their first title since 1918. However, he signed with the Mets after winning the championship when the Mets offered him four guaranteed years, something the Red Sox wouldn't do.

How Martinez (7-3, 3.01 ERA) would be welcomed by Red Sox fans in his return was a matter of speculation, until he received a standing ovation during the second inning of Tuesday's series opener.
