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.

It really has nothing to do with not being a Yankee. I'm just assuming because of what happened when Manny was a free agent last year. If I remember correctly it took Manny just as long for him to find a team as it did for Damon. Perhaps it was even longer.
It was just an assumption I placed because it took Manny a while to get a team last year. I could be wrong it may have had nothing to do with it.
I checked Wiki and it assumes he wasn't signed to a team Until March 4th. Maybe the attitude had nothing to do with it in fact it probably didn't but if next year is anything like it was the last time with Manny being a free agent. This could take a while.
