A new authorized biography about Manny Ramirez has revealed his side of the 2008 meltdown in Boston that led to his trade to the Dodgers. "The team management didn't have his back," Manny's wife, Juliana, told the authors. "They gave him up to the press instead of protecting one of their own players." Former Lawrence Eagle-Tribune reporter Shawn Boburg and UMass Boston professor Jean Rhodes co-authored "Becoming Manny: Inside the Life of Baseball's Most Enigmatic Slugger."
