    Rangers sign Manny Ramirez.

    Not gonna lie......this throws me a bit. Just a minor league deal, though. So very little to no risk.

    Nothing to lose....it will sell tickets, and if he screws up he's sent packing in a split second

    He has zero bat speed left. It won't be long until the Rangers figure it out.

    Not bad he can do massive roids he has nothing to lose probably makes a deal with the Rangers per game until they get him.

    Totally washed up guy that has no idea what to do other than hit a baseball and is in denial that he's not 30 any more. Always annoying to see big players who are not able to end their career....

    On the other hand; no risk and pure marketing move for the Rangers, so who cares.

    as a sox fan...manny is a legend....always sort of liked the guy no matter what anyone said about him....hes a strange dude indeed

    and i agree that its annoying to see guys hold on too long in any sport...at the same time...some of these guys just dont know what to do when its all over....these guys having been doing this stuff day in and day out for years...it becomes their life.....their identity.....sometimes its hard to let go

    Thought I read that he was playing in Japan and was tearing shit up there. I don't think it's a bad signing what's the risk really? If he does nothing, then he's still in the minors.

    Low risk, probably low reward. Manny still living off of past achievements that were achieved wile on the juice. No roids=No Manny Ramirez.

    Not a bad idea. Let him play some minor league ball for a few months and draw a some crowds on that end. Then if he has some good stuff, they can call him up and DH him for a few games down the stretch.

    Rangers second in attendance overall, so it's not like they need Manny to sell tickets.

    They got him to see if he could add any sort of threat as a right hand bat. If he shows he can, he'll DH or PH. Who knows? Could be a good deal.

    Not so good: In March 1998, Ramirez slapped clubbie Tom Foster in the face at the Indians' spring training site after being told he couldn't remove bats from the equipment room. In June 2008, Ramirez shoved the Red Sox's traveling secretary, 64-year-old JackMcCormick, to the clubhouse floor over a dispute involving tickets.



    i had it mixed up which guy he slapped around first

    beat up a 64 year old man what a fukkin asshole

    this will end very quickly

    oogie still looking for work in the bigs rangers should of been looking at him

    Irrelevant transaction here. Most likely won't make it out of the minors, and if he does, he will probably piss hot again.
