It looks as if Manny Ramirez has taken his on-the-field antics off the field after rejecting a two-year US$45 million offer from the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers proceeded to take the offer off the table and Ramirez remains without a team. This is the fourth offer reportedly rejected by Ramirez. There is no telling when Ramirez will put his John Hancock on a contract, but his antics are slowly growing old, even in L.A.

Haiti has rejoined the Dominican-Haitian Mixed Bi-national Commission. Haitian president Rene Preval reestablished connections by decree and ordered Haitian government officials to work within the Commission to properly discuss mutual matters of interest. The Commission was originally proposed in 1995 under then President Joaquin Balaguer and officially created during the first Fernandez administration in 1996. However, the Commission only functioned until 1998. Outgoing Dominican Ambassador to Haiti Jose Serrulle told Listin Diario that Haiti’s inclusion in the Commission would provide a short-term institutionalization of Haitian-Dominican relations.

In what he hopes will be the final chapter in his continuing saga with steroids, baseball player Alex Rodriguez met with MLB officials on Sunday to discuss his knowledge of steroids within MLB clubhouses. Though little was revealed from the two-hour meeting, a press release from MLB indicated that Rodriguez was cooperative in his declarations. Rodriguez was flanked by two lawyers, Jay Reisinger and James E. Sharp during the meeting in Tampa, Florida. ESPN reports that union general counsel Michael Weiner, MLB vice president of investigations Dan Mullin, MLB executive vice president for labor relations Rob Manfred, and senior vice president and general counsel for labor Dan Halem were also present at the meeting. I’m only talking about baseball, I’m just excited that I have a game every day. That’s where I belong. It’s fun to be back out there, were Rodriguez’s only comments. Rodriguez then departed for Jupiter, Florida [...]

Washington National’s GM Jim Bowden resigned from his position Sunday morning as a result of a damaging scandal involving a National’s minor league prospect. However, Bowden’s move was also influenced by a bonus skimming scandal involving Latin American players, where MLB teams GMs and scouts would report a signing bonus, give the player a reduced sum and pocket the difference. Bowden says he doesn’t want to be a distraction to the team as investigations continue. Former Nats special assistant Jose Rijo was dismissed last week for his part in a scandal involving player Carlos Alvarez David Lugo a.k.a. Esmaiylin Gonzalez, who faked his name and age to get an MLB contract.
