if he didnt want to, there wouldnt even be any talks about him going anywhere, hed stay on boston no questions asked, and the red sox main trading deadline focus would be AJ Burnett like it should be right now...

basically, the only way out for manny is him requesting to leave...otherwise no team would want to let talent like him go
the only problem with him is his massive contract, teams have fallen appart because of one players contract, just look at texas when rodriguez was on it...not to mention theres only a handfull of teams that could actually pick the damn thing up
