Dodgers Make New Pitches to Manny, Others

The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a new offer to Manny Ramirez, according to MLB.com. The offer is reported at being a one-year deal for $25 million. The Dodgers are also looking to sign either Randy Wolf or Braden Looper, as the New York Mets have reached a deal with Oliver Perez. Perez was the Mets' first choice, and Wolf stood as their second. Now that Perez has been signed, the Dodgers are free to pursue both Wolf and Looper.

Dodgers' List is Dwindling

The Los Angeles Dodgers' list of potential pitchers to sign from free-agency has shrunk, as Jon Garland signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. As it stands, the Dodgers are focusing on Randy Wolf, whose stints with the San Diego Padres and Houston Astros last season led to a 14-14 record. He was especially impressive with Houston, going 6-2 with a 3.57 ERA. Braden Looper serves as a backup if another team, like the New York Mets, snatches up Wolf before the Dodgers can. Looper went 12-14 with St. Louis last season.
