Manny in pinstripes...make it happen Cashman!!

Imagine the numbers A-ROD would put up hitting in front of many Ramirez.

They need to put a salary cap on baseball...You have these small city teams that cant afford the offers that boston and yankees put on the table. I will not be surprise if some baseball teams start closing down. What the yankeees and boston have done , does not give other teams the opportunity to get a star in their team.

I don't think so yankees have a policy about the hair, many is not cutting his dreads

"I don't think so yankees have a policy about the hair, many is not cutting his dreads"

For 25 million a year and a chance to stick it to the Red Sox I think Manny would go bald if he had too.

good point ciby ....as a Yankee fan I hope this is not a huge mistake and manny the jerk of the past becomes somebody to admire as a human being....He will also be coming home

this is speculative rumor that appears in few other places except this local publication....SUNDAY, 10:53pm: According to a report in the Dominican newspaper Impacto Deportivo, the Yankees are on the verge of signing Manny Ramirez to a three-year, $75MM deal. The report says negotiations are advanced and an announcement would take place Monday or Tuesday. If true, this would be an incredible scoop. However, there is reason for skepticism. The money and timing just don't seem right. "

I've always fantasized about Manny playing for the Yankees and now it will become a reality!

it is still a fantasy !....even the tabloids have not picked up on this local rumor

the silence is deafening.....was it wishful thinking from an over zealous local writer ?.....I think so

or maybe they{the yankees} came to their senses

No I think this is the real deal. There have been Manny rumors buzzing here in the city for a few days now and Manny has made no secret about wanting to play for the Yanks and sticking it to the Red Sox to boot. I think we'll be hearing an announcement over the next few days. If the Yanks are throwing that kind of money at Manny he better jump on it. Yea his bat has pop, and that's an understatement, but he's not getting any younger and his defensive skills, which were not great to begin with when he was younger, have a lot to be desired. Take the money Manny and bring a ring back to New York.

ciby what do Michael Jackson and Manny have in common...........answer....They both wear a glove on their left hand for no apparent reason

yeah it would be a great chapter in the Red Sox/ Yankees book

Would be great to see Manny come to NYC to inaugurate the new stadium. It will prob be a great feeling playing pro ball just across the bridge from where he grew up!

Exactly! Manny's a New Yorker. He was born to be in pinstripes.

" Exactly! Manny's a New Yorker. He was born to be in pinstripes.".....Let us hope he finally grows up there and stops being a selfish jerk....Good luck to him and the Yankees

"Let us hope he finally grows up there and stops being a selfish jerk...."

Exactly! Manny's a New Yorker....LOL

Manny is a quitter and a trouble maker. He quit on the Sox. Amazing how the story of him pushing the 64 year old travel secretary of the Sox to the floor never made the papers here. He was angry because he couldn't get all of the 16 free seats he requested for an away game so he knocked the old guy to the floor. Wait till he pretends to be injured, so that he can sit out, like he did with the Sox. The Yankee fans will crucify him.

He would however, be a great government official.He is the embodiment of "what's in it for me" thinking.

Asked about Monday about a report out of the Dominican Republic that the Yankees are on the verge of signing Manny Ramirez, general manager Brian Cashman said: "Not true."
We called the Impacto Deportivo report "extremely doubtful" last night and unless Cashman is playing coy that looks to be the case. New York may indeed end up with Ramirez, but there's been nothing to indicate that they're far enough along in talks that a deal could be completed this soon. Dec. 22 - 10:01 am et

This would be the 3rd major signing of this offseason, all by the Yankees. They have already committed over $240 million to CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett, and this contract would place them well past the $300 million mark for this offseason. They are still talking about adding one more pitcher, as well.... thank God I am a Yankee fan.

Can you say Derek Lowe

Steinnbrenner. to the Hall of Fame Today

The Best Owner Ever !

Ever !

FROM LOS .ANGELES .............Don't let the door slap you in the ASS on your way out. another example of days gone for ever....I'll just stick with my Sons and Neighborhood Kids on an old fashion baseball game or 3 flys-up.

I forgot to mention, Manny will hold out to the highest bitter in true fashion, stir the pot some it will create more $$$ just keep um guessing.
Regarding Steinnbrenner being voted to the Hall of Fame....Put his A** in the business section of the Hall of Fame where he belongs thats all.

is this finally dead ..................Contrary to reports out of the Dominican Republic, the Yankees are not on the verge of signing Manny Ramirez.

"If we are, I don't know about it," Yankees co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner told Newsday on Monday.

A report in The Impacto Deportivo said Ramirez was close to signing a three-year, $75 million contract.

Steinbrenner said the Yankees have no offers on the table to Ramirez or Mark Teixeira.

Its over they took the other guy .....manny can go suck an egg ..it would have been a huge mistake to have taken this selfish jerk for big bucks ....ciby was right he should have begged the Yankees to take him......http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/24....seball/24yankees.html?_r=1&hp

Mark Teixeira. bit first .....to late Manny unless you want to drop your pants

Isn't Karma unfailing? Manny and Boras conspire to have Manny quit on the Red Sox, a team who made Manny Ramirez one of the wealthiest ball players in the history of the game. He quits on them, beats up on the 65-year-old travelling secretary, true only to his trademark shelfishness. People scream of injustices in this forum all the time but find the temerity to praise Manny when he should have been sent to jail for assault. Then the Yanks sign Texiera (also a Boras signee) , thus eliminating a bidding contender from the process and possibly tens of millions of dollars and guaranteed contract years. Maybe Manny will now beat up Boras or sign with the Angeles or take the Dodgers last offer. Whatever the case, it will now be for a lot less money. Karma, it's going to get you!!

you got that right devin .....I firmly believe in Karma ....This is how I justify going around being mean and insulting to people...... because of Karma I know they deserve it....hahaha
