BOSTON -- The agent for Red Sox centerfielder Carl Everett denied a
report in Friday's Boston Globe that Everett wants to be traded.

The
Globe, citing industry sources, reported Friday morning that Everett
planned to ask the Red Sox to trade him this winter because he was convinced
he could no longer play for manager Jimy Williams.
"Where the Globe came up with this story, I have no idea," said Larry Reynolds, Everett's agent.
Everett had a good year on the field, hitting 34 home runs with
108 RBI and 11 stolen bases even though he missed 25 games.
But his temper drew attention in several well-publicized
instances.
Everett yelled at reporters, had confrontations with Williams
and teammate Darren Lewis, and was suspended for 10 games for an
outburst July 15 against an umpire. Everett bumped Ronald Kulpa
once on the chest before "beaking" him with the brim of his cap.
Kevin Shea, a Red Sox spokesman, didn't immediately return a
message seeking comment. | |
