The often unpredictable Manny Ramirez has signed a minor league deal with the Oakland Athletics. If he makes the big league club Ramirez will earn $500,000, a bargain with little risk for the Athletics.
As part of the deal, Ramirez will report to the big league spring training camp as a non-roster invitee before the A's first full-squad workout, scheduled for this Saturday.
Manny who was suspended a second time for testing positive for drugs in 2010. He was to serve a 50 game suspension during the 2011 season. However, Manny decided to sit the MLB season. In doing so, he technically has served his suspension and is eligible to play opening day for the Oakland Athletics.
