Why not? Because Ramirez isn't a Yankee? Manny has more ability to change a game with one swing than Matsui and Damon do combined. The Dodgers knew Manny had attitude problems last year and still gave him $45 million for two years. Teams will look past his issues. I mean, Christ, Milton Bradley still has a job.
In a perfect world, next year Ramirez will take a one year, $10 million deal with the Indians to serve as their DH, get 600 home runs, then call it a career.
