Athletics general manager Billy Beane said during the Winter Meetings last month that he would prefer to go younger at designated hitter this season, but despite having a number of internal options, things might not work out that way.
Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes Los Angeles?was told by a source (link in Spanish) that Oakland is ?very interested? in Manny Ramirez, who is currently preparing for his comeback attempt in Miami.
We learned a couple of weeks ago that the Orioles and Blue Jays sent scouts to watch Ramirez take batting practice. Rojas was told that while Baltimore ?liked? what they saw, the A?s are the team showing the most interest, despite the fact that they haven?t actually seen him in person yet. The 39-year-old is expected to hold a workout for interested teams before the end of the month, so if Rojas? source is correct, they?ll presumably take a look at him within the next few days.
If or when Ramirez signs with an MLB team, he?ll have to serve a reduced 50-game suspension for his second positive PED test before being eligible to play during the regular season. However, he would be allowed to suit up during spring training.
