MLB Rumors: Hanley Ramirez and the Boston Red Sox are parting ways, according to a Boston Globe story that says that the Red Sox are designating Ramirez for assignment to make room on the active roster for second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who is being activated from the disabled list today. Ramirez is in the final year of a 4 year, $88 million deal that the previous Red Sox regime signed him to, and that generally has not worked out for the BoSox.
Ramirez, 34, has a .254/.313/.395 slash line this season while playing first base and DH.
