Is Manny Ramirez Coming Home to Cleveland?

If Ramirez does request to be traded, Genske says "his preference would be Anaheim. He also still loves Cleveland, and would go back there." Another possibility would be Arizona, if Boston would take some of the contracts the Diamondbacks are trying to move, including Troy Glaus and Luis Gonzalez. Texas was in play at the deadline.

Despite the fact that he took the money and ran to Boston, I think the Cleveland fans, overall, would love to have Manny Ramirez back in a Tribe uniform. But, due to the size of Manny's contract (almost $20 million per year) it would be interesting to see what (if anything) the Indians could to in terms of having cash as a part of the deal in bringing him back to Cleveland.

But, don't get your hopes up because that contract is over 40% of what the Indians total payroll (around $45 million) was this year. To think that this team would bring in a salary like that, is less than likely.

Plus, what players would they have to give up to make that deal happen?
