BREAKING: Tampa Rays agree to deals with Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez
Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez, integral parts of the 2004 Boston Red Sox team that won the World Series, are reuniting in Tampa Bay after agreeing to one-year contracts Friday, according to Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman. Coming off a season in which he batted .271 and drove in 51 runs for the Detroit Tigers, Damon's deal is said to be worth $5.25 million with a $750,000 attendance bonus. Ramirez, who split time between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox last season, will earn $2 million and bring some extra power to the defending AL Wild Card winners.
Both deals are pending physical examinations.
