TEAMS:
Cleveland Indians,
Boston Red Sox
PLAYERS: Manny Ramirez, Travis Hafner, Casey Blake, Paul Byrd, Jason Michaels
PLAYERS: Manny Ramirez, Travis Hafner, Casey Blake, Paul Byrd, Jason Michaels
Assuming he doesn't get traded (no one seems to want to give enough for him), he will be a free agent at the end of the year after the Sox don't extend his option.
This would present an interesting option for Manny's original team, the Cleveland Indians. My inside sources tell me the Indians might be interested in signing him.
Indians owner Larry Dolan has taken heat from Indians fans for not spending enough, but my source noted that Dolan has had a track record of spending big money on good young players. Dolan did spend $57 million over four years on Travis Hafner in his 2007 renegotiation.
At the end of this season, with the contracts of C.C. Sabathia, Casey Blake, Paul Byrd, and Jason Michaels off the books, the Indians will have about $20 million available to spend. With the Indian's disappointment this year and their lack of offensive production, the front office is feeling pressure to do something.
If they can sign Ramirez for two years for $15-16 million a year, they might go for it.
