After a long and aggravating wait for the Dodgers, they were finally able to convince Manny “the predator” Ramirez (and his agent, of course) to agree to a 2-year, $45 million deal, with the option to opt out after the first year. I suppose part of their strategy was to squeeze every penny possible out of the Dodgers, hence the lengthy duration of his signing.

The Dodgers did well last year with the late addition of Manny (making the semi-finals of the playoffs) and look to go even further this year. As for you Mr. Ramirez, speaking on behalf of the Los Angeles citizens, “Finally!”… as if that didn’t take long enough. How much money do you need to play baseball, Mr. ‘Predator’? (Apparently 25 million bucks a year) At least the Dodgers can relax now and the fans can rest easier, while anticipating their bright future.
