After months of hard negotiations the Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Manny Ramirez to a new deal worth for $45 million over two years.

“We got a great meeting,” Ramirez said. “I’m happy to be here. We got some unfinished business, and that’s why I’m here.”

Dodgers manager Joe Torre is very hapy the two parties finally reached an agreement.

“We’re close to getting Manny on the field, and I think he’s basically chomping at the bit to get the uniform on,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. “We all wanted the same thing and that’s what was apparent to me. After last year and the time he spent with us, we knew we wanted him back. It was just a matter of finding that common ground. As Ned said, you talk on the phone and to different people, you need to get face-to-face. It was a real good meeting. There was a lot of comfortable conversation.”

Now the questions is, is Manny actually happy and will he play his hardest for the team?
