Cleveland's Finest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Manny Ramirez told ESPN's Pedro Gomez on Monday that he has agreed to a deal with the Oakland Athletics. The team announced the minor league deal Monday. Ramirez is expected to report to spring training by the end of the week. Sources tell Gomez the deal is worth about $500,000. Ramirez is obligated to serve a 50-game suspension without pay before beginning play for the A's due to violating baseball's drug policy for the second time. With no rainouts, the first game Ramirez would be eligible to play is on his 40th birthday -- May 30 at Minnesota.
