FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Red Sox pitcher Julian Tavarez said in a TV interview last night that Manny Ramírez will not report to camp until March 1 because his mother requires surgery for an undisclosed reason.
Tavarez, who is good friends with Ramírez, made the comment to Dan Roche of WBZ-TV.
Manager Terry Francona, who was at City of Palms Park last night taping a TV show, said he had no knowledge of the situation. The last information the team received, he said, was that Ramírez was in terrific shape, in good spirits, and planning to be here on time.

FWIW 1 MArch according to the CBA is not late.

As long as his agent is right and he doesn't show up at that car show and really is with his sick mother, I personally have no problem with this.

UPDATE: Manny shows up early! Looks like Manny didn't go to the car show, he arrived in camp this morning for his physical.

It was nice to see Manny show up today a couple days earlier than he had asked for, end of the Drama!
