Manny Ramirez has exercised the $20 million option on his contract to remain with the Dodgers. Ramirez could have exercised an out clause in the two-year, $45 million deal that he signed in March with Los Angeles. "There was no doubt he had his struggles this past season," general manager Ned Colletti told the Los Angeles Times. "We still feel that he's a very good hitter and maybe with a winter off and a chance to regroup, he can come back with a better frame of mind and his confidence rebuilt." Ramirez hit .290 with 19 home runs and 63 RBIs in 104 regular season games.
