World Sports News:Manny Ramirez to the White Sox for Free
Article Summary:
Article Content:
According to numerous reports, the Chicago White Sox are about to acquire Manny Ramirez. What will the Los Angeles Dodgers get in return? Nothing. And that’s exactly what the Dodgers wanted.
A couple days ago, the White Sox claimed Ramirez off of waivers. At that point, the Dodgers could have pulled back Ramirez, traded Ramirez to the White Sox or let the White Sox absorb his contract. The third option appears to be what is about to happen.
In this scenario, the White Sox will owe Ramirez the final ,825,000 left on his contract for the rest of the season. Chicago actually has been trying to get the Dodgers to take one of their prospects and, in return, take on some of that guaranteed money. At this point, that doesn’t appear likely.
Even though Ramirez is 38 years old, he can still hit the ball. He’s hitting .311 this season with eight homers, 40 RBIs and 32 runs in 65 games. If he can stay healthy and on the field, the White Sox will be getting a player that can help the team make a run at the divisional title.
