Just Do It Yankees: Sign Manny Ramirez!

 
Enough is enough! If you're the New York Yankees, you have to sign Manny Ramirez. You have approximately $80 million coming off the payroll, use some of it to grab Manny Ramirez. If truly the goal for the Yankees is a championship every year, this is a must! The Yankees will not and cannot practice frugality now that their farm system doesn't look as good as advertised before. If they have any guts whatsoever, they'll sign Manny Ramirez and stick their middle finger up to the rest of Major League Baseball, especially the hated Red Sox in the process. Imagine how hated Manny would be if he went to the Yankees. Imagine if he hit a walkoff home run off of Jonathon Papelbon at Fenway in September. Imagine how heated the rivalry between the Yanks and Sox would be if this would happen. Major League Baseball needs the Yankees and Red Sox to be utterly heated to be more dramatic. Manny would make A-Rod look lovable to Sox fans. This has to happen! Sorry, but I don't care about the Rays and White Sox ... (link)
