Morrissey Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3949705 Source: Manny, Dodgers agree By Enrique Rojas ESPNdeportes.com ORLANDO, Florida -- Manny Ramirez and the Los Angeles Dodgers finally reached common ground in their negotiations, according to a source close to the talks. After multiple failed attempts, Ramirez and the Dodgers agreed to a two-year, $45 million deal on Tuesday. The Dodgers announced last week that agent Scott Boras had declined the team's fourth offer to the star outfielder -- a one-year, $25 million contract with a $20 million player option for 2010. The outfielder is expected to travel to Los Angeles on Tuesday night. Ramirez would then report to the Dodgers' spring training camp in Arizona.

Otter Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Finally. I bet Torre is doing backflips. I think this will put the Dodgers over the top in the NL West once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
