The offseason dance between the Los Angeles Dodgers and outfielder Manny Ramirez is finally over after Ramirez signed a two-year, $45 million contract with the National League team. The deal was announced last Wednesday.
Ramirez came to the Dodgers from Boston in an August trade last season, and went on to hit .396 with 17 homers and 53 RBIs in 53 games to lead LA to the National League Championship Series.
The Dodgers, Ramirez and agent Scott Boras engaged in extended off-season negotiations that lasted into the beginning of training camp. The new contract calls for Ramirez to make $25 million this year and $20 million in 2010, with a player option after the 2009 season.
