| 14th February, 2009 - 10:25 am | MLB.com - Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti and manager Joe Torre are keeping tabs on free agent outfielder Manny Ramirez, and sound as though they believe he'll ultimately re-sign.
"There's been some progress made, but obviously not enough to consummate a deal," said Colletti. "We're both clear on why we stand where we stand. Three months ago, it was guesswork more than anything else."
Los Angeles knows that Ramirez is looking for a lengthy deal for more than $25 million per year.
"He was his usual upbeat self," Torre said of Manny. "I've told him a number of times to do what's best for his family. He's admitted he was comfortable playing in L.A. It comes down to satisfying both parties. You like to believe there's a lot of romance, but he's looking for length. I definitely would be very surprised if he wasn't a Dodger, but is that any insight? No. It's just the way I want it to be. In our situation, he was a good fit and I expect him to continue to be."
