Vartiek filed the papers on July 28 in Gwinnett County, Ga., where his family lives during the offseason. The captain and his wife have been married since 1997, and have three daughters ages 8, 6, and 3. The free-agent-to-be isn’t doing so hot at the plate either, batting just .216 on the year.http://www.newser.com/story/34921/soxs-tek-files-for-divorce.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 14 Aug 2008 11:23:36 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33903/in-the-end-manny-had-to-go.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe Manny Ramirez balance sheet didn't add up, and the Red Sox finally had to deal the headline-grabbing outfielder for the good of the team, writes Dan Shaughnessy in the Boston Globe. "On paper, the Sox are not as strong as they were," he acknowledges. But "this trade is a demonstration of how badly Boston wanted to get rid of Manny."http://www.newser.com/story/33903/in-the-end-manny-had-to-go.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 01 Aug 2008 9:02:31 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33870/bosox-deal-ramirez-as-white-sox-land-griffey.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe Red Sox traded Manny Ramirez at the deadline today, shipping the disgruntled outfielder to the Dodgers in a three-way deal that sends outfielder Jason Bay from Pittsburgh to Boston, reports New England Sports Network. Earlier, Ken Griffey Jr. agreed to a trade from the Reds to the White Sox, boosting the odds that the 20-year veteran will finally play in a World Series, Fox Sports reports.http://www.newser.com/story/33870/bosox-deal-ramirez-as-white-sox-land-griffey.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 01 Aug 2008 10:52:50 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33801/sox-discussing-manny-trade.html?refid=rss_all_defaultRed Sox fans are used to "Manny being Manny," but could they accustom themselves to Manny being a Marlin? Talks about sending Manny Ramirez to Florida have turned serious, but many still doubt that any deal will be made by today's trade deadline, sources tell ESPN. Ramirez, for his part, seems ready to leave Boston.http://www.newser.com/story/33801/sox-discussing-manny-trade.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 31 Jul 2008 1:53:43 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/31458/mlbs-midterm-report-cards.html?refid=rss_all_defaultReport card time! Here’s how the rambunctious kids of MLB are doing so far, in Yahoo Sports’ Steven Henson’s estimation. A students —Rays, Red Sox, Cubs, Angels, White Sox Particular kudos go to the Rays, the poor kid who went to the head of the class. B students —Cardinals, Brewers, Twins, Phillies, Yankees, Athletics, Marlins, Orioles The Cardinals have a slight edge in the wildcard race. The Yankees, meanwhile, barely scrape together a B.http://www.newser.com/story/31458/mlbs-midterm-report-cards.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 02 Jul 2008 12:08:53 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/30619/curt-schilling-a-very-human-superman.html?refid=rss_all_defaultPlenty of fans adore Curt Schilling, plenty more harbor less admiring thoughts about him, and Kevin van Valkenburg, writing in the Baltimore Sun , feels a little bit of both. As the Red Sox pitcher faces a season-ending surgery, a look back at his career shows a gifted athlete with a compelling mix of arrogance, neediness, and grit.http://www.newser.com/story/30619/curt-schilling-a-very-human-superman.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 22 Jun 2008 8:58:41 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/27938/lester-throws-no-hitter.html?refid=rss_all_defaultJon Lester can now add pitching a no-hitter to his already amazing list of accomplishments. The 24-year-old lefty, who survived cancer to pitch the clincher of Boston's 2007 World Series victory, shut down Kansas City 7-0 Monday night for the first no-hitter in the majors this season. "Really, words can't describe it right now," Lester said.http://www.newser.com/story/27938/lester-throws-no-hitter.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 19 May 2008 21:01:31 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/27522/payton-powers-os-past-bosox.html?refid=rss_all_defaultJay Payton hit his fourth career grand slam to back a gritty pitching effort by Daniel Cabrera, and the Baltimore Orioles rallied to beat the Boston Red Sox 6-3 Wednesday for a two-game sweep. Solo homers by Jason Varitek and Mike Lowell, and a defensive gem by Manny Ramirez _ yes, Manny Ramirez _ weren't enough to prevent the Red Sox from losing their fourth straight.http://www.newser.com/story/27522/payton-powers-os-past-bosox.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 14 May 2008 22:23:50 CDT
