Jonathan Papelbon, the Red Sox closer, calls Manny a “cancer” in an interview with Esquire Magazine. So far, Manny’s only response to those comments is, “I just want to play,” which is very similar to what he has said every time some Red Sox player has ripped him since he was traded to the Dodgers. Basically, he has put Boston behind him.
