    A's Manny released

    The Athletics have announced that Manny Ramirez has requested his outright release and the team has granted his request. The veteran recently completed his 50-game suspension and was eligible to join the club on May 30th.

    Ramirez, 40, hit .302/.348/.349 for Triple-A Sacramento in 69 plate appearances this year. Just last week, A's GM Billy Beane said that the club hadn't decided whether to release the slugger.
    Not a real surprise here. Could a return to Cleveland be a possibility? They really need some RH bats.

    Well. Maybe.

    As he should, as he should.

    Vlad or Manny if you're a competing team looking for a bat?

    Vlad because I have seen him more recently and no circus attached to him

    If they would both sign for league minimum then I would go with Manny, because that circus puts butts in the seats
