MLB.com is reporting there were indications today the San Francisco Giants’ interest in left fielder Manny Ramirez is “genuine,” according to a story on the Web site. But no “definitive evidence emerged” suggesting the left fielder will be the fifth free agent to join the Giants this offseason, according to MLB.com.
Ramirez helped the LA Dodgers win the National League West title in 2008 after the team acquired him from Boston, the Web site notes, going on to point out that SI.com’s Jon Heyman wrote how San Francisco has “entered the bidding” for Ramirez, and that KPIX-TV reported earlier that the club had made Ramirez a multiyear contract offer, according to MLB.com.
