The Red Sox had some conversations with the Marlins about Hanley Ramirez in recent days, but their interest was to acquire and then flip the infielder to another club, according to a source. Boston believed that Ramirez would benefit from a change of scenery, but they didn't see him as a good fit with the franchise and simply wanted to use him in another deal. Miami sent Ramirez to the Dodgers on Wednesday morning.
