Many news sources including the New York Daily News that spoke to a few baseball officials say that the Yankees may be interested in seeking a two year deal worth $50 million with Manny Ramirez. The New York Daily News was also told by this “so-called” baseball official that the Yankees want Manny because they see him as the perfect addition to the lineup behind Alex Rodriguez. Are the Yankees indeed getting closer?
Other MLB sources told RBI Magazine that it is most likely that the Yanks will not exceed a two year deal with Ramirez. RBI Magazine was also told that the Yankees have stopped all trade negotiations with the Brewers involving Mike Cameron. This may be due to the recently spiked interest in Manny.
On Sunday, RBI Magazine learned that the Yankees were said to be willing to give everything they have to acquire Manny Ramirez if they can not get their hands on Mark Teixeria. The Yankees were expected to offer Ramirez roughly $20 million over a span of three years if there chances at the first baseman Teixeria do indeed bust.
The Los Angeles Angels and Washington Nationals have allegedly offered Teixeria an 8-year -$160 million option sometime over the duration of the last two weeks, an amount the Yankees will need to meet or beat. Oh., and we cannot forget about the Dodgers chances but word has it that they may be losing ground.
Fellow Yankee fans we need Ramirez!
I am tired of not making the playoffs like we used to. We need to hammer it home and win a World Series NOW!! Manny=Manny Champagne!
