Manny Ramirez is back out of retirement and with the Oakland Athletics. The deal is worth about $500,000. Before Manny can play a single game he has to sit out 50 of them for violating the leagues drug policy. If all goes according to plan and Ramirez is fit and healthy and drug free he can play on June 2nd vs Kansas City.
I have never been crazy about Manny Ramirez and I am glad to see that he has such a long suspension. I am happy to see that his salary would be so much lower than the what I consider an average salary for a professional baseball player.
ReplyDeleteThis might be a good thing for Ramierz. I heard about this the other day on ESPN and it talked about how he wants to come back in order to do the right thing and not just leave the MLB with a bad name. He also wants to show his kids the right way of doing things and that everyone can be forgiven for their mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI think that Oakland is taking a good risk with this move. If Manny can come back from his suspension and show that he can still be his old self, he will be a huge boost for the team and to the city of Oakland. Hopefully he can help bring in money to the team for the long term move to San Jose.
