The Yankees will thankfully explore all options this offseason. However, Hank Steinbrenner does likes Manny Ramirez, which is pretty surprising, due to Man-Ram’s age.
Here’s the scoop, via New York Post:
Hank Steinbrenner said the Yankees will explore all options during the offseason, including the possibility of making an offer to free-agent slugger Manny Ramirez.
“There’s nothing we are not looking at,” Steinbrenner said today at the Yankees’ spring training complex. “And personally, I like Manny. He’s one of the greatest hitters in the history of the game. He’s a free spirit for sure, but he knows how to win. We like some of the other guys, too. We just don’t know yet.”
Ramirez was traded from Boston to the Dodgers on July 31, and Los Angeles is expected to attempt to re-sign the high-priced outfielder.
I still say Manny is a bad option. Getting him would be like receiving a slightly better version of Bobby Abreu. Why not go after outfielders like Pat Burrell or Adam Dunn instead?
