Is Manny Ramirez Close To A Deal…

by

The team has pulled its two-year, $45million offer to outfielder Manny Ramirez; however, now they might be close to a deal.

The Dodgers are “making progress” toward an agreement with free-agent left fielder Manny Ramirez, but no deal has been reached, according to a major-league source.

After multiple failed attempts, Ramirez and the Dodgers agreed to general terms Tuesday on a two-year, $45 million deal, a source told Rojas. Another source told ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark that obstacles still remain to completing the contract.

Agent Scott Boras told ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick that while he has been in daily contact with Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti, no agreement has been reached.

“We are in discussions and we have no deal in place,” Boras said.

Boras would not elaborate further on the status of the talks.

The Dodgers said last week that Ramirez had declined the team’s latest offer, a one-year, $25million contract for the 2009 season with a $20million player option for 2010.
