It's the never-ending story with slugger Manny Ramirez who is now reportedly recovering from a sore left hamstring. Ramirez says he originally aggravated the hammy while playing in his first game in left field for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 36-old Ramirez joked that he might be getting old saying, "Maybe age is catching up with me."
In other baseball news, reports out of LA indicate that talks have taken place between Pedro Martinez and the Dodgers. Ironically, Martinez started his career with the Dodgers in 1992 and would be reunited with his old Boston pal Manny Ramirez. However, there is a snag. Martinez wants a basic salary of US$5 million with plenty of incentives, while the Dodgers are supposedly offering a "pay for pitch" contract, which means that Martinez would have a low basic salary with many incentives. Word around the league is that Martinez's best years are already behind him and that all his past injuries could come back to haunt him.
