As one of the most dominant hitters in baseball history, Manny Ramirez is about as intimidating a player there is in the MLB today. He rarely strikes out and has the unique ability to go yard consistently, there is just no other hitter like him in baseball.

After Manny was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers by the Boston Red Sox, Ramirez started playing like an MVP by leading his new team to the post season and their first playoff series victory in 20 years. Now that is saying something! Not only was Manny the key cog in getting the Dodgers as far as they did, but Ramirez was unbelievable with his play at the plate hitting homerun after homerun and quickly becoming a big fan favorite in Los Angeles.

During the off season in baseball so far we have seen some historic free agent signing by the New York Yankees with the Bronx Bombers snatching three of the biggest free agents off the market with big time money. With CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett and Mark Teixeira all making making new homes in New York, Manny Ramirez is the last of the big time free agents left on the market.

The Dodgers did offer the future hall of famer a pretty big contract for $45 million over two years with $25 third year insentive, but Manny and his agent Scott Boras decided to test the market, which may have been a really bad idea as no other team has made another other.

Well, now time is ticking for Ramirez as spring training is just around the corner. The Dodgers still want the slugger, but they are not up to signing him for more than two years due to him being 36 years old. The New York Mets, St. Louis Cardinals and Dodgers arch rival San Francisco Giants are the only other teams to express some interest in signing Ramirez, but they still have yet to make an offer.
