Manny Ramirez Rumors: Tuesday

By | February 3, 2009 at 11:33pm CDT

11:33pm: According to MLB.com’s Ken Gurnick, Scott Boras said he expects to resume contract talks for Ramirez with the Dodgers on Wednesday.  The Manny rumors were fractured into various posts today at MLBTR – here’s the one about the Mets not being involved, and here’s the one about Ramirez rejecting the Dodgers’ one-year, $25MM offer. 

We also have an article from David Waldstein of the New York Times, where Yankees GM Brian Cashman says:

"People expect us to get in on Manny, but it’s not going to happen.  We’re in the nonroster invitee mode.  He’s a great player, but when you look at our payroll, we’re tapped."

9:39pm: Bobby Evans, Giants VP of Player Personnel, appeared Tuesday night on XM Radio’s Home Plate show.  Manny was obviously a hot topic.  Check out some of the quotes from the interview:

"Manny is amongst a number of different options out there, he’s clearly the most renowned player and probably future hall of famer, so you can’t deny interest if there’s an opportunity to bring him to the Giants."

"We’re going to monitor the market of him, it doesn’t seem to be going down, although he did turn down this offer, it was a 1 year offer verse a 2 year offer that was for more money. Again ultimately I don’t know which way it will go, but we’re going to stay engaged and see what happens."

8:48pm: Chris Haft of MLB.com makes a case for the Giants signing Manny.  Unlike the Nationals, who made their stance known almost immediately, Giants officials refused to comment Tuesday after news broke that the Dodgers’ offer was rejected.

7:35pm: Nationals GM Jim Bowden reaffirmed Tuesday evening that his club is not in the hunt for Manny Ramirez.  Bill Ladson filed the report for MLB.com.

"We are not pursuing Manny Ramirez," Bowden said.  As Ladson points out, "the Nationals are overloaded with right-handed-hitting outfielders, plus he’s 36 years old. The Nationals have often said that they are looking for players for the long term."

The Nats have focused on landing Adam Dunn and reportedly offered him a contract some time ago.  He should come at a cheaper price than Manny and Washington can feel more comfortable offering the 29-year-old Dunn a mutli-year contract.
