LOS ANGELES -Manny Ramirez is coming back to the Dodgers next season.
The team said Friday that the slugger exercised his $20 million contract option for 2010. His agent Scott Boras informed general manager Ned Colletti of the decision, which Ramirez had until this month to make.
He could have exercised an out clause in the two-year, $45 million deal he signed in March.
Ramirez hit .290 with 19 home runs and 63 RBIs in 104 regular season games. He missed 50 games while suspended for violating baseball's drug policy.
In the NL division series against St. Louis, Ramirez batted .308 with no homers and two RBI. Against Philadelphia in the NL championship series, he hit .263 with one homer and two RBI.
Ramirez was traded to the Dodgers from Boston in July 2008.

Ralphy where's Ed? Ed who usually posts 2 minutes after you and says the same dumbazz things in the same rambling ignorant way. Could you be twins seperated at birth OR are you by chance one and the same? Oh , by the way A-Roid's BA is now "in the .250 range " - and at 5 times the price. Think A-Roid and Teixeira are both in the 25M range and both batting way under 300 wise guy. Take yourself to mlb.com before you open your uneducated piehole.

Look how Manny is doing compared to Jason "the Great White Hope" Bay whose batting average is now in the .250 range. Do you notice that the Red Sox are getting whiter after trading Coco Crisp and now Julio Lugo. Chris Duncan is about the whitest player you can trade for. The Red Sox didn't win a championship for 86 years because of that. Yes Dodger fans, the Red Sox turned down Jackie Robinson in a tryout in 1945. Gocubsfan Martin, do I know you as I used to live in Albuquerque years ago? I live in Miami now. It's really a Yankee town as Marlins fans only exist when their team wins. When they lose, they jump off the bandwagon. By the way, I've been a Yankee fan since I was born.

I find it amazing that the rules of MLB allow a suspended player to play in the minors. A suspension for 50 games should be just that - no playing for 50 games. When the suspension is over he can start playing again where ever. This is pathetic. MLB continues to coddle cheaters.

Bring Manny to Albuquerque! The fans here will welcome him with open arms! We rarely get the chance to see a superstar player like him in our neck of the woods! He didn't do anything more than alot of others in the league. I didn't hear anybody complaining when he *********** homers over the "Green Monster" back in Chow town. Get over it already!

MANNY= Pissing in the outfield,Faking injury,Every fly ball is an adventure,Posing after every steriod fueled homerun. I am not Paying my hard earned dollar to see the crap thats being presented to us Fans are now starting to take notice just start to check out declining attendance figures around baseball We get tired of seeing whats out there we will stop paying.Thats the only way to get anyones attention.Spend time on a Sunday afternoon with wife or girlfriend,take daughter or son to a movie,take your 80 year old mom or dad out for a bite to eat,ride a bike,go fishing,check out a museum anything but going to a baseball game where no one seems to care about the fan whos paying the salaries of these jerks who continue to show no respect for the game
