Manny Ramirez has exercised his 2010 option, and he'll be back in Dodger blue next season. He'll be paid $20 million for the last year of his contract.
I talked a whole bunch about this in my previous post, and my prediction that he'd be back was true. It really wasn't a hard choice to make. The Dodgers were the only place he'd make that kind of money.
As Ned Colletti stated, the hope is that Manny won't press as much as he did after his suspension last season. Pitchers would bust him inside with hard stuff, and Manny never could quite adjust. With an offseason of knowing exactly who he's playing for, he can get geared up and ready to go for 2010.
Now the Dodgers can focus on adding other ways to improve. Most importantly, they need starting pitching. Second base is also an area of need.
