He’s $20 Million Manny: Ramirez Remains With Dodgers For 2010 Season
Los Angeles, CA (AHN) – Manny Ramirez decided not to opt out of the second year of his two-year, million pact with the Los Angeles Dodgers and will remain with the team in 2010, his agent told the organization Friday.
Ramirez, one of the game’s most feared sluggers, had an up-and-down year in L.A. hitting 19 homers with 63 RBI in 104 games.
He was much better early on, hitting .348 with six home runs and 20 runs batted in his first 27 games with the club.
Manny’s season was then interrupted by a 50-game MLB ban for violating baseball’s drug policy.
He was not much of a force in the playoffs either, as the Dodgers fell to the Phillies in the NLCS.
Manny hit .281 with a home run and two RBI in the Dodgers’ eight postseason contests.
He is an all-time great hitter, however, with a .313 batting average, 546 home runs and 1,788 RBI.
Manny is just six hits shy of 2,500 with 2,494 base-knocks.
