Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez arrived at spring training Wednesday, six days after the team's first full-squad workout and one day after Major League Baseball's mandatory reporting date. Ramirez, who hit .292 with 45 home runs and 144 RBIs last season, was allowed an extra week away to continue working out near his Miami home. Fans had eagerly waited to see if Ramirez would show up. He requested a trade over the winter and hinted that he might not report if the request wasn't honored. But Wednesday morning, Ramirez walked into the team's locker room in Fort Myers -- a glove in hand -- then went to the field for practice. "My main focus, like I say, is getting prepared for the season to help Boston win," Ramirez said. "I'm here. I don't live in the past, I live in the present." Asked about offseason trade rumors and whether he's happy still being with the Red Sox, Ramirez said he had no problems with Boston. "I especially like the attention," he said. "I know that I'm one of the top guys in this game and all the attention is on me, I got a lot of people on my shoulder, but I'm human. I like to go. I like to have fun. I like to do this and that but I got to represent Boston and the Red Sox in every way that I do outside this game."
