An American League executive doesn't believe that free-agent outfielder Manny Ramirez is going to get a contract worth more than $25 million annually. The Dodgers offered Ramirez a one-year deal worth $25 million last week, but he turned it down. "I had a feeling Frank McCourt would make the offer," said the executive. "I'll be honest, I never thought Ramirez would walk away from a deal like that. One year, $25 million. That's better than the $20 million option he had torn up. "If he has another great year, he gets another $25 million for one year? Or maybe a team then decides, 'OK, this guy has behaved himself for a while, continues to produce at a high level now, let's commit for another two years to him.' "Unless a team like the Yankees comes in at the last minute and gets it done, I just don't see where he's going to make more than $25 million."
