MLB.com - As expected, the Dodgers have withdrawn the contract offer they extended to free agent Manny Ramirez a week ago, but they will continue negotiations.

The Dodgers offered Ramirez a two-year deal guaranteed for $45 million, plus an option year at an additional $15 million.

"We still have an interest in him," GM Ned Colletti said. "This doesn't mean we won't continue discussions. They just can't accept that offer flat-out. It's like any other free-agent negotiation now. We'll have conversations, and sometimes you're able to sign the player, and sometimes you're not.

"Our exclusivity ended yesterday and now they'll have a chance to hear what other clubs are willing to pay and for how long." [READ]
