To start, there's only a few places Manny could actually go because there are only a few places that can afford the money. I do think, if he gets moved, he's only going to one place:
The New York Mets.
They've wanted him in the past and probably still do. They're willing to deal with 'Manny being Manny' and most importantly can take on the money. It helps that Manny lives in NYC because he'd at least semi want to be here. The Red Sox would probably want some combination of prospects and major league players probably starting with Milledge and going from there, but that's a deal I could see being done.
As for the Sox, I really believe this was an anomoly year. Wells and Clement got hurt early. Wakefield and Trot Nixon got hurt later on (which goes 2 fold because they would have gotten Abreu if Nixon had gone down sooner) Beckett isn't going to give up 30 some odd home runs again. Schilling should be solid with Beckett, Wakefield, Clement and Papelbon/whomever is going to be the #5
