Manny Deal Apparently Done
The Dodgers and Manny Ramirez finally reached a tentative contract agreement Wednesday during a meeting in Los Angeles that included manager Joe Torre and general manager Ned Colletti. The deal is pending a physical exam that will take place Wednsday. The two officials, who flew to California Tuesday night, were en route back and expected to be at Camelback Ranch-Glendale in time for Wednesday’s game with the Giants. Ramirez also flew in for the final meeting to accept the offer the Dodgers made last week — two years, $45 million, deferred for five years, with an opt-out clause for the player after one season. — Ken Gurnick
