O’s interested in Ramirez
The Baltimore Orioles are interested in signing outfielder Manny Ramirez to a contract after watching him hit in the batting cages.
Buck Showalter, among other Orioles personnel, were in attendance at a batting cage session that was also watched by baseball people from other clubs.
The Orioles are still looking for a designated hitter and will definitely have to fill that hole now that Luke Scott signed with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Part of the problem with Ramirez is that he is suspended a big chunk of the season for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
It’s also unknown how much those drugs helped him throughout his career, so he may be a shell of his former self.
