"Manny Ramirez last appeared in an MLB game in 2011. But the former Red Sox great and two-time World Series champion is reportedly seeking a return to pro baseball - this time as a coach. According to Jon Heyman of The New York Post, Ramirez "is getting word out to all 30 teams he'd love to serve as an MLB hitting coach.""
"Ramirez does have the resume as far as his big-league credentials, with the left fielder establishing himself as one of the top right-handed sluggers in the game over a 19-year career. He batted .312 with 555 home runs in his career, including 274 home runs with the Red Sox. This is not the first time that Ramirez has taken part in a coaching role, as he served as a player-coach for the Iowa Cubs - Chicago's Triple-A affiliate - during the 2014 season."
Manny Ramirez is seeking a return to pro baseball as an MLB hitting coach and has reached out to all 30 teams to express interest. He intends to teach younger players and apply his elite hitting ability to coaching. Ramirez compiled a .312 batting average with 555 home runs and a .996 OPS over a 19-year major-league career, including 274 homers with the Red Sox. He previously served as a player-coach for the Iowa Cubs in 2014 and worked as a hitting consultant in 2015. Any interest from Boston remains uncertain with Pete Faste expected back, and Ramirez would not address defensive shortcomings.
