More Manny News

A wild rumor that Manny had to pay a 6 figure fine for his altercation with the traveling secretary circled parts of the blogosphere today but it has been dismissed. Extra Bases tries to clear up some of the reporting with the following:

According to industry sources, Ramirez, in addition to apologizing to McCormick, paid a fine of between $10,000 to $15,000, with the money going to an agreed-upon charity. Reports that Ramirez had been assessed a six-figure fine are not true, and Red Sox officials have not raised the issue that Ramirez's strikeout against Mariano Rivera in a pinch-hit appearance July 6 was in any way related to the discipline administered.

No can we please get back to baseball? It figures that the Sox would have to start the second half on the West Coast so we have to wait even longer for them to get back into the action.
