Amazingly,
there are reports that several MLB teams are interested in signing 41-year old Manny Ramirez. Predictably, Manny says he will only accept a major league deal in the US or something in the Japanese professional league. Earlier rumors that he was about to sign with an Independent League team have been squashed. Presumably, only an American League team could risk a deal—since it's unlikely that Manny can still display his old defensive 'skills' in the field.
