Manny back in Dodger Blue, Accepts $45M deal



After months of back-and-forth negotiations, a meeting Wednesday between Manny Ramirez, his agents and Los Angeles Dodgers management has culminated in a deal in principle with the slugger for $45 million over two years.

Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti would not confirm that a deal had been reached, but sources said the only remaining obstacle is for Ramirez to pass his physical in Los Angeles.

"We got a great meeting," Ramirez told KCAL-TV as he emerged from his physical in suburban Inglewood. "I'm happy to be here. We got some unfinished business, and that's why I'm here."

Ramirez was expected to undergo the exam later Wednesday in Los Angeles. If it goes accordingly, the Dodgers might make an announcement either later in the day or Thursday.
