Manny Ramirez dominated NL pitching for half a season. But was that long enough to earn a spot on Dayn Perry's MVP ballot?

The Dodgers' two year-offer to Manny Ramirez -- believed to be for about $45 million -- is very unlikely to lead to a quick deal between the sides, or perhaps any deal.

Manny Ramirez wants big money, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are prepared to give it to him -- likely for a far shorter period than he wants.

General manager Ned Colletti said Wednesday the Dodgers made an offer to the free-agent slugger that would give him the second-highest average salary in the sport behind Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.

Even if the Dodgers are unable to re-sign Manny Ramirez, no one will be able to accuse GM Ned Colletti of not trying.

DANA POINT, Calif. -- Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said what's been obvious for a while, and that is that their talks with superstar free-agent outfielder Manny Ramirez aren't going to result in a quick signing.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Dodgers appear willing to meet or come close to superstar free agent Manny Ramirez's annual salary target but are strongly disinclined from acceding to his wish for a deal of five or six years, people familiar with the club's thinking tell SI.com.

PHILADELPHIA -- The franchise-transforming hitting savant Manny Ramirez shot his right index finger into the sky as he rounded first base on his three-run home run in Game 2.

Nobody can be sure what the finger signified, but it couldn't possibly have meant that his Dodgers are No. 1.

The opposing Phillies take a well-earned two-zip lead in games to Los Angeles despite their strange stubbornness in continuing to pitch to the unconscious Ramirez.
