Around baseball, people keep wondering: Which teams might be interested in Manny Ramirez as a free agent?
Ramirez, 36, is expected to seek at least $25 million per season, and his agent, Scott Boras, has recently indicated that he might pursue a six-year deal.
The Jays, like many clubs, would be concerned that Boras might prolong the negotiations, possibly preventing them from filling other needs.
However, the addition of Ramirez would transform the Blue Jays' offense and energize the team's fan base.
The Jays' current plan is to use Adam Lind and Travis Snider in the left field and DH spots. Ramirez could alternate at those positions with one of those players, perhaps enabling the Jays to trade the other.
Toronto, an international city where hockey is the No. 1 sport, seemingly would be a good fit for Ramirez, who has said he was unhappy with the suffocating environment in Boston, a passionate baseball town.
