Part of me really wants to see him finish his career back in Cleveland as their DH.

It really depends on what Manny wants. Since Boras is Manny's agent it may take a while. I can't see Cleveland giving out more then maybe 2 years. 2 years even sounds like a stretch. If Manny becomes a free agent he is not getting more then Hideki or Damon that's pretty much guaranteed. And his attitude doesn't help because Damon and Matsui don't even have attitudes.

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.

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.
