I used to be a huge Manny Ramirez fan. No, really…I was.
But now, I’m getting a little tired of the guy.
Manny Ramirez upon learning he will not be able to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic because he’s on MLB’s inactive list, told ESPNdeportes.com Thursday that he will formally request reinstatement.
Ramirez said that upon reentry, he would serve his 100-game suspension for a second violation of MLB’s drug policy.
“I would comply with my pending sanction and I would be available for any major league team,” Ramirez told ESPNdeportes.com’s Enrique Rojas via telephone from Miami. “I already informed (agent) Scott Boras of my decision to return and begin the process.
“If any team wants to sign me, I would play. If no one does, I would look to play in Japan or any other place. I was not prepared for retirement.”
Ramirez cannot serve his suspension until he signs with a major league club.
- Ramirez returns and allows the boys over at URtheFan.com to create some awesome new t-shirts.
- Ramirez doesn’t make it back to the Majors and ends up playing independent ball with Jose Canseco and his merry band of misfits.
- Ramirez throws an orange back in the ole blender and gets popped again for juicing.
Let’s say Ramirez DOES come back…what are your hopes for the former World Series MVP?
