A-Rod Proposal Still in Limbo
A day before the deadline set by Texas to complete a trade of shortstop Alex Rodriguez, the Boston Red Sox stood by their statement that the proposed deal is “dead.”
Red Sox owner John Henry did not alter that position or say, in response to an e-mail from Associated Press on Monday, that his club would contact the Rangers before the deadline.
Ranger owner Tom Hicks set a deadline for 2 p.m. PST today for the deal, which would send outfielder Manny Ramirez to Texas in a swap of baseball’s only $20-million-a-year players. Hicks said that if there isn’t a trade by then, the Rangers would plan for Rodriguez to be their shortstop in 2004.
