Manny Ramirez is "starting a new beginning" after signing a short-term deal with the EDA Rhinos of Taiwan's professional baseball league.

The 40-year-old will earn $25,000 a month to appear with the team during this year's March-November season.

"I don't think about the money and contract," Ramirez said. "I just think it is a great opportunity for me and the fans."
