Former MLB star Manny Ramirez has signed a short-term contract to play in Taiwan‘s professional baseball league.
The EDA Rhinos say Ramirez will earn $25,000 a month to appear with the team during this year’s March-November season.
Ramirez appeared at a news conference in the Rhinos home town of Kaohsiung on Tuesday.
The 40-year-old right-handed hitter hit the big time with the Boston Red Sox and was named the Most Valuable Player at the 2004 World Series.
