Manny Ramirez was unable to get a chance with a major league team, so he is headed overseas.
CBS Sports? Jon Heyman reports that Ramirez ?will touch down Monday? in?Kaohsiung, Taiwan and will suit up this summer for the?EDA Rhinos of the four-team Chinese Professional Baseball League. His exact salary has not been disclosed, though ESPN Deportes? Enrique Rojas noted in February that the best CPBL players typically top out at about $12,000 a month. Which extrapolates to $144,000 a year.
Ramirez, 40, batted just .302/.348/.349 in 69 plate appearances last year for the Athletics? Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento, California. But he had a decent showing this offseason in the Dominican Winter League.
