Although Manny vowed never to don the hated Yankee pinstripes reports are starting to surface that the Bronx Bombers are courting Ramirez. The story, first reported by the New York Daily News, has many interesting aspects including the fact that the Yankees are the only team in baseball willing to take on a massive contract like the one Ramirez wants, as well as give him the three-year deal he is looking for. Add to this the fact that Ramirez isn't making as big a splash in free agency considering that Mark Teixera is this off-season's prime catch, leaving Ramirez to play second fiddle for the first time in his career.
What'd also interesting about a potential deal would be the clubhouse atmosphere in the new Yankee Stadium, as it would include C.C. Sabathia, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. The final obstacle would be Ramirez's long locks. Yankee policy stipulates that all players must be clean-shaven and have trimmed hair, another thing Manny vowed he would never do.
