Hi, Ross: Do you believe the Dodgers will be able to sign Manny Ramirez to a new contract? Kelly Alhambra, Ca. —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  — -

Ross:

If all the Dodgers offer  Ramirez is a two-year contact, Kelly, I do not expect him to stay in Los Angeles. Manny is going for either a four or five year deal, and likely will get it from some team. Mets general manager Omar Minaya is known to want number 99, and with that franchise moving into a new stadium and competing at the gate with the Yankees, that could be the place.
