Former slugger Manny Ramirez has reportedly expressed interest in making a comeback in the MLB.
Now 39, Ramirez retired last season after receiving a 100 game suspension for failing his drug test for the second time. he has already filed for reinstatement from MLB's voluntary retired list. If he get signed by a team, Ramirez will have to serve his suspension but may get reduced by fifty games because Manny sat out all of last year.
The twelve time All-Star only managed just one hit in 17 plate appearances for the Rays in 2011. But has hit .312 in his career and is ranked 14th in MLB history in career home runs with 555.
The question is, which team will sign this aging Dominican? Teams have expressed interest in Manny but have doubts in how well he can preform on the diamond, as well as, how much Manny will ask for when he signs with certain clubs
Chances of the Detroit tigers signing Manny? Doubt it, with power hitters already on the roster including Victor Martinez, Miguel Cabrera, Brennan Bosch, and newly signed Prince Fielder, it will be hard to find a spot for Manny to play everyday in the liuneup. I would love to have Ramirez on the Tigers but it would be a waste of money for an day-to-day player.
