San Francisco Chronicle - The San Francisco Giants have had conversations with agent Scott Boras regarding Manny Ramirez, but industry sources tell the Chronicle a report that the Giants have extended a formal offer to Ramirez for a deal of up to four years was inaccurate.

As one major-league source familiar with Ramirez's situation said, "This is in the early innings, not the later innings."
