The Cubs announced that they have signed Manny Ramirez to a minor league deal to be a player-coach at Triple-A Iowa. Ramirez is represented by Praver/Shapiro, as shown in the MLBTR Agency Database.
“While Manny is not and will not be a fit on the Cubs major league roster, we do think at this stage of his life he’s a nice fit as a mentor for some of the young talented hitters we have in the organization,” Epstein said in the press release. “Manny will coach full-time and play part-time in a limited role that does not take at-bats away from our prospects. If he shows there is still some magic in his bat, perhaps he will find his way to the major leagues and help another team, but that is not why he is here. We are thrilled that he wants to work with our young hitters and make a difference.”
