Miami Sports Management welcomes newest client, Manny Ramirez
What are you up to, Manny Ramirez?
Manny went and got himself an agent, as if he's some kind of guy who wants to keep playing professional baseball. Last season, he infiltrated the Rangers' minor league system after terrorizing Taiwanese pitching for most of the season. This wound up amounting to nothing.
But that hasn't stopped the 41-year-old from starting a new chapter in his career, having that chapter end abruptly due to a steroid scandal, and then retiring before any punishment could come down on him.
As one of the most monstrous hitters to ever play the game, (.312/.411/.585 - that's a .996 OPS FOR HIS CAREER sorry for shouting), Manny could probably find a team to call home. Baseball will need a player to pick on all year, and with A-Rod out of the picture, sports writers are withering up and dying, poisoned by their own sense of smug self-satisfaction, not having an active player to spew it at all season.
If anything, they'll be spending most of the year brushing Derek Jeter's hair, and Manny would give them the chance to take a break and blast a guy because his shirt's untucked.
Will we see Manny Ramirez in MLB in 2014? I don't know. We almost saw Mark Mulder, which seemed less likely, and now he's "#ridindirty" now which also seemed less likely.
