Manny-ramirez-white-sox
Per ESPN Deportes: "The Oakland Athletics are "very interested" in making Manny Ramirez their designated hitter next season, a source told ESPNDeportesLosAngeles.com." (The source, we'd assume, is a baseball insider named "Bott Scoras," but we digress.) Ramirez appeared in a supremely forgettable 17 at-bats for the Rays last year before he retired because a less forgettable positive drug test posed a potential 100-game suspension. (Manny struck a deal with MLB this offseason, so he'll only miss 50 games if he comes back.) Then he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in September.More »

Carlos Pena Returns to the Tampa Bay Rays

Via Rant Sports  |  January 20, 2012
According to ESPN, Carlos Pena has resigned in Tampa for 7 million in 2012. Throw that on to the 5 million the Cubs owe him, Carlos Pena is going to make a little bit of change in 2012.
