An excellent article by Bill Simmons about the Manny Ramirez trade a few months ago. Simmons posits that agent Scott Boras orchestrated a premature ending to the Manny-Red Sox relationship in order to get a commission, which seems reasonable considering Boras’ track record. As a bonus treat for DFW fans (and I think an intenional homage), Simmons goes footnote crazy.
