Manny Ramirez still wants to play

While major leaguers are preparing in Arizona and Florida for the 2014 season, Manny Ramirez has set up his own training camp at a community park in the Miami area of Hialeah.

The 41-year-old doesn't have a team, but he keeps the word "retirement" out of his mind for now.

Ramirez, a veteran with 555 homers in 19 seasons, has not played in the majors since 2011, when a second suspension for violating the anti-doping program forced him to quit baseball.

The outfielder/DH signed minor league agreements with the Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers during the past two seasons, but both times he requested his release after not being summoned to the majors.

I stopped caring about Ramirez when he left Cleveland, but I feel kind of sorry for him now. Get a clue, dude. It's over.
