Damon agreed to a one-year deal worth $5.25 million plus incentives and Ramirez one year at $2 million, according to SI.com. Both deals are pending physicals. Damon will likely play left field and Ramirez designated hitter.The Tampa Bay Rays have agreed to one-year deals with free agents Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez, sources confirmed to ESPN.com.
So Manny cost the Rays twice the cost of Marcus Thames? Strangely, I don't think Tampa's going to get twice the output.
UPDATE 10:52p: Cot's Baseball Contracts says the Dodgers will pay Manny $3.33M in 2011. So Manny will get 62% of his income next year from us.

I liked MLB.com's headline:
"Ray-united: Manny, Damon to again join forces"
you don't think Manny will hit 14 homers this year?
Actually, if $2mil was the low low asking price, I wish Dodgers would have just picked him up again.
That's a good point. We've got two, maybe three left fielders. Why not another?
But on another note: I sat here debating whether to post this tonight when it was timely, or hold it for tomorrow morning. Thanks for proving my decision to run it tonight was a good one, guys.
The Dodgers are going to start a revolution in baseball: 6-7 man rotation and 3 or 4 left fielders. Maybe the idea of several left fielders was planted with Pierre's arm.
At least we don't have Vernon Wells.
What the fuck are the Angels thinking?!
@Nic
1) Where the hell ya been?
2) Exactly...at least we didn't just ship Mike Napoli off for the most overpaid player in all of baseball.
2 million dollars, I feel like Data saying 50 dollar bill, 50 dollar bill, how much did we pay him last year and the rays are paying him 2 million dollars
Updated post to remind us all we will owe Manny $3.33M next year, on top of the Rays' salary.
