Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Ron Paul Reacts To Maine Caucus Results
The Los Angeles Dodgers are yet to place Manny Ramirez on waivers, but the prevailing thought throughout baseball is that it's only a matter of time before the team does just that. The Dodgers trail San Diego by 12 games in the NL West -- with San Francisco and Colorado between them -- and the ongoing divorce between the team's owners has them in a money-shedding mood.So it makes sense for the Dodgers to see if they can get anything for Manny, and it seems they already know there will be at least one suitor interested in his services. Numerous tweets say that Kenny Williams and the White Sox are itching to place a claim on Ramirez.
Both Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports and Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times say that Williams plans on placing a waiver claim on Ramirez if he gets the chance, with Cowley saying a major league source told him that Williams "is pushing all his chips on getting Manny Ramirez."
It's not a bad move for the White Sox to make, though you do have to wonder if Ramirez would have a large enough impact on the Sox that they'd be able to overtake Minnesota. Still, considering they'd only owe him $4.46 million -- with $3.34 million of that deferred without interest -- it's not a terribly pricey move for the White Sox to make.
That being said, Ramirez has to be placed on waivers first, and he'd have to get through the entire National League and most of the American League before Williams would even have a chance to claim him. Though odds are that a National League team won't have much interest in Ramirez playing left field for them at this point, and among contenders in the American League right now, Chicago would get the first chance at him.
Plus it's Kenny Williams. He has a tendency to make a decision on something he wants and then do whatever it takes to get it. So it wouldn't be surprising at all to see Manny Ramirez in a White Sox uniform on or before Sept. 1.
