White Sox Tried to Nab Manny Ramirez From Dodgers -- MLB FanHouse

The White Sox did make an effort to get Manny Ramirez from the Dodgers on Friday, but it was apparently more of a half-hearted attempt to steal the beleaguered slugger.

The White Sox offered $1 million and no players, according to a source familiar with the negotiations. Ramirez is owed about $6.7 million for the rest of the season.

The White Sox have been looking for a big bat for the middle of their lineup, and they seemed to be focusing most of their energy on the Nationals' Adam Dunn. As the day lagged and the Dunn deal didn't happen, they checked in to see if the Dodgers were willing to cut ties with Ramirez.

Hey, maybe they would have jumped if it was 2 million!

Wouldn't be surprised if these rumors started up against before the waiver deadline.
