Millions of dollars have been dished out in new contracts this offseason, but Manny Ramirez still hasn't seen a single cent. The 38-year-old slugger remains a free agent and his list of suitors is dwindling.
This is not the same Manny that once terrorized pitchers. After all, he only hit nine home runs last season after playing in only 90 games. His power numbers and average are down, and he's even more of a defensive liability now than he was just a few years ago.
Still, this is Manny Ramirez we're talking about—one of the best right-handed hitters in the history of the game. His OPS hasn't fallen below .870 since he broke through with the Cleveland Indians, and his on-base percentage has stayed above .400 each of the last three seasons.
There are any number of teams that would have been happy to welcome Manny to their club, but the price tag has remained high. If Scott Boras' demands come down, here are 10 teams that may come calling for the slugger's services.
