Hanley Ramirez signed a four-year, $88 million contract with the Boston Red Sox last season and played left-field for the first time in his career. According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, the Red Sox are already trying to trade Ramirez this offseason.

The 31-year-old was not signed by the current President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski but was a signing of then-Boston General Manager Ben Cherington along with Pablo Sandoval. The teams that are said to be interested in Ramirez are the Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners and Baltimore Orioles.

However, the remaining $68 million on Ramirez's contract is a huge problem and the Red Sox will likely need to pay half of it to at least be considered by the teams mentioned. The Angels and Mariners are in need of additional bats that could drive runs and they will surely use the Dominican as a first base or a designated hitter.

Current Orioles General Manager Dan Duquette originally signed Ramirez to the Red Sox back in 2000 and is still a fan of the player. The possibility of losing Chris Davis in free agency could also be a key on a possible trade between the Boston and Baltimore.

Cafardo adds that the Red Sox have talked about the option of signing Davis, but their main priority is to sign an ace in David Price or Zack Greinke. In a report by Mass Live, Davis will be a great replacement bat for David Ortiz, who is retiring at the end of 2016 season.

Davis, who led the American League in home runs in 2015 with 47, talked with Mass Live about playing in Fenway last September. "I would say this is a tougher park to hit in for a lefthander. I mean, obviously you have the big wall in left field, but most of my home runs to left field or left-center are line drives," Davis said.

"They're not real high fly balls. There are deeper parts of the ballpark: right-center, obviously center field with the triangle. Even though Pesky's Pole is close, I don't hit a lot of balls to right field right down the line that stay fair," he added.

According to CBS Sports, the Orioles are still trying to re-sign Davis to a contract, but he is expecting at least a seven-year, $182 million contract. Baltimore will have to spend money or hope that the left-handed slugger and his agent Scott Boras agree to a hometown discount.
