文章標題標題：Jamey Carroll's contract with Dodgers does not include donation
clause
全文：
In a televised news conference last March, on the day Manny Ramirez agreed to
his new contract with the Dodgers, owner Frank McCourt announced that Ramirez
had pledged $1 million to the team's charitable foundation.McCourt said all
future Dodgers contracts would include a clause, called the "Ramirez Provision
," that would mandate such a donation.But the contract for infielder
Jamey Carroll, the first player the Dodgers have signed to a negotiated major
league contract since then, did not include a "Ramirez Provision," his agent
said this week."I'm not even sure what that is," said agent Jonathan Maurer.
Dodgers spokesman Josh Rawitch on Thursday didn't say why Carroll's contract
didn't include the provision. But he did say that the Dodgers and Maurer had
discussed community involvement, including charitable contributions, as part of
the contract talks.Rawitch also said General Manager Ned Colletti had made a
donation after signing his contract extension in October."We expect Jamey will
contribute whatever he feels comfortable giving," Rawitch said.The players'
union filed a grievance earlier this year, saying that Ramirez and more than
100 other players from 22 teams, including the Dodgers and Angels, should not
have to make a combined $6 million in donations to club charities last season.
The union said such donations were improperly mandated; the owners said the
donations were freely negotiated.The grievance is still pending, said Major
League Baseball spokesman Pat Courtney. In the meantime, he said, teams have
not been told to avoid contractual provisions for donations to club charities.
Maurer said Carroll actively participates in charitable efforts, including the
Garth Brooks Foundation, and would be happy to donate to the Dodgers Dream
Foundation. However, he said Carroll's contract does not require such a
donation."He expects to give back to the team, Maurer said. "He was not asked
to do so."

真懷疑McCourt自己給他暗扛那些錢....
還是算是一種逃稅的方法?!
這樣誰想要來道奇呀...
