Agent Scott Boras is featured in the "20 Questions'' feature in the new issue of Playboy, which hits the newstands on May 15.

For Red Sox fans, the news in the article is that Manny Ramirez preferred living in Cleveland to living in Boston, according to Boras.

From the interview:

Playboy: Manny Ramirez made himself such a distraction for the Red Sox last year that they traded him to L.A., where he led the Dodgers to the playoffs. Why did he want out of Boston?

Boras: Manny enjoyed his Red Sox teammates and loved the organization, but he did not enjoy living in Boston. It wore him out. He wasn't comfortable. It wasn't like Cleveland.

Playboy: He wanted out because Boston isn't like Cleveland?

Boras: [Nodding] For Manny, environment is important. He had liked living in the Cleveland suburbs. I said, "Manny, I want you to play in L.A. They've got some really good young hitters, but they need a slugger, and Pasadena's a lot like those Cleveland suburbs." He had been to L.A. only three times in his life, but once we got him there he said, "This is the spot for me."
