MLB Rumors: Mark Teixeira Or Manny Ramirez To The New York Yankees

... writes Manny Ramirez has reached an agreement with the New York Yankees for three years and $75 million. I have no idea how reliable this is, but, given how the American sports media loves to help the teams negotiate through their reporting, I see no reason not to provide the same voice to the Spanish reporters.

... Manny Ramirez: A Dominican newspaper is reporting that Manny signed with the Yankees for 3 years, $75 million, but considering the source there is definitely reason to be skeptical. I do believe that Manny will end up on the Yankees though, because their lineup lacks a big time bat other than A-Rod and we all know A-Rod can't always be counted on to come through in the clutch.
