Manny Believes Yanks to Extend 3-Year Offer

A friend of Manny Ramirez has said that the slugger believes that the Yankees will offer him a 3-year deal worth around $75 million. The Yankees organization is very split on Ramirez, the 36-year old slugger from Washington Heights, Bronx NY. A Dominican Newspaper has reported that Manny and the Yankees were already in serious discussions and that he was close to signing. It also stated that an announcement should come shortly. However, MLB.com's Brian Hoch texted Brian Cashman about that and he responded with a, "not true." The Yankees want another bat after losing Jason Giambi and Bobby Abreu this offseason. Manny is not expected to make a decision until after Mark Teixeira does as that may gather more team's interest.
