Two articles about former Boston Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez. First ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney says that the "Giants could ultimately be in mix for Manny". Key line?
- Some rival executives believe that the Dodgers could offer a two-year, $30 million deal to Ramirez and still have the highest bid on the table -- and of course, two years and $30 million would represent less money than Ramirez would have made had he just stayed with the Red Sox. But part of the discussion within the L.A. front office has been about what number would completely embarrass Ramirez to the point that he would roll over on his team, the way he did in Boston.
Of course this comes a few days after St Louis' Albert Pujols reports that Manny says nobody wants him. Jerry Crowe of the Los Angeles Times asks "Which Manny Ramirez story is the right one?"
Awesome!
