I've been mulling two possible trade scenarios in my head. Assuming Manny returns to his normal production, here is a July scenario I could see brewing.
Trade Scenario: Red Sox/Mets/Marlins
Mets Recieve: OF Manny Ramirez (BOS)
Marlins Recieve: SP Jon Lester (BOS), Mike Pelfry (NYM), Victor Diaz (NYM)
Red Sox Recieve: SP Dontrelle Willis (FLA), Lastings Milledge (NYM)
Potential Road Blocks: Xavier Nady continues playing well and the Mets do not need Manny, Marlins actually play well and stay in the race, Red Sox refuse to part with Jon Lester.
I only wonder if the Mets think they would be getting enough. Who knows, the Mets always want Manny.
