OH MANNY-DA!

Manny Ramirez says he would like to play for John Farrell, who was hired as manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, according to ESPNdeportes.com. Ramirez played with the Red Sox when Farrell was the pitching coach, starting in 2007.

Ramirez told the ESPN reporter by phone:

"John [Farrell] has tremendous knowledge of the game, a very pleasant man and he trains ballplayers. Toronto has made a great acquisition. Farrell is a manager for whom I would like to play, and Toronto is a team I've liked since they had all those Dominican players in the '80s.”
