Manny expected to join White Sox
The Dodgers' Manny Ramirez is expected to join the Chicago White Sox Monday, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. Whether it's a trade or waiver claim is still to be determined.
Ramirez's salary is $20 million in the final season of a two-year contract, but only $5 million is due this year, with the rest to be paid over the next three years.
Ramirez, 38, has been hampered by leg injuries this season and is batting .311 with eight homers and 40 RBIs in 66 games. He was ejected from yesterday's 10-5 loss at Colorado for arguing a called strike on the first pitch he saw as a pinch hitter.
First walk-off replay
Brian McCann capped a stunning comeback with a replay-assisted walk-off homer that gave host Atlanta a 7-6 victory over the Marlins yesterday - the first time a game ended on a video replay. Pinch hitter Matt Diaz tied the game with a two-run homer off Leo Nuñez (4-3) after Brooks Conrad led off the ninth with a walk. Nuñez retired the next two hitters before McCann drove a 1-and-2 pitch toward the wall in right. The ball bounced back onto the field, and the umpires initially ruled it was in play.
