Manny Ramirez Eyes Return to MLB as Hitting Coach

Manny Ramirez is looking to return to Major League Baseball as a hitting coach.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Ramirez’s agent, Hector Zepeda, is reaching out to all 30 MLB teams to promote the 12-time All-Star’s coaching ambitions. Zepeda said Ramirez “wants to bring his greatness to teach the young guys.”

Ramirez certainly has the credentials as a player. In 19 major league seasons, he won nine Silver Slugger awards, a batting title, and was named World Series MVP with the Boston Red Sox in 2004. He finished his career with 555 home runs, 1,831 RBIs, a .312 batting average, and a .996 career OPS.

The White Sox have several coaching vacancies, including at hitting coach, after parting ways with four coaches at the end of September.

This included pitching coach Ethan Katz, hitting coach Marcus Thames, first base coach Jason Bourgeois, and catching coach Drew Butera.

Ramirez has ties to the White Sox organization.

The 53-year-old appeared in 24 games with the White Sox in 2011, slashing .261/.420/.319 with a home run, after being claimed off waivers in August of that season. He played just 17 games with the Rays the following season before retiring.
