What Manny's Suspension Means For The Dodgers
We know that Manny Ramirez has been suspended for 50 games after failing a drug
test, but what does it mean for the Dodgers? ESPN.com's Buster Olney breaks
down the consequences for baseball's winningest team so far.
．Ramirez loses between $7-8MM in salary this year.
．He'll miss 50 games and return in early July.
．Olney says "no team with any sanity is going to match the money that Ramirez
stands to make in the second year of his deal" (he makes $20MM next season).
．So Manny will not opt out of the contract.
．The Dodgers, like the Yankees with Alex Rodriguez, have been "duped," but
there's nothing they can do about it.
Some other consequences for the team:
．Juan Pierre will presumably play every day in left field and bat eighth.
．Could the $7-8MM be used to acquire a free agent like Pedro Martinez or Ben
Sheets?
．Could it give the team the flexibility to make a deal for a premier player?
