While many Americans are out of work and struggling with the lagging domestic economy, free agent outfielder Manny Ramirez is apparently not too concerned about finding a job.
Ramirez and his agent Scott Boras last week turned down a two-year offer to remain with the Los Angeles Dodgers for $45 million. Ramirez came to Los Angeles last year after all but forcing his way out of Boston with sporadic and erratic play in the field with the Red Sox, then hit .398 with 17 homers and 53 RBIs for the Dodgers the rest of the season, earning National League Player of the Month honors in August.
This marks the fourth time the Dodgers have been rejected by Ramirez and Boras, claiming other teams are interested. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt says, “When his agent finds those ‘serious offers’ from other clubs, we’ll be happy to restart the negotiations.”
