January 30th, The Worcester Tornadoes would like to extend special thanks for all of the fans, and members of the media who have taken interest in the Manny Ramirez contract offer.
Though no word has yet been received from Manny Ramirez or his agent regarding the contract offer, the Tornadoes are confident that the former Red Sox slugger is seriously considering the offer. As many media outlets have expressed, the Tornadoes offer remains the only offer Manny Ramirez currently has from any professional baseball organization.
Tornadoes Director of Interactive Media Mike Tetler commented, "While we have received a great deal of press suggesting that we [The Tornadoes] have offered Manny a contract simply as a publicity stunt, we are quite serious about our offer, and $24,000 is waiting for Manny should he accept the contract. While we would like to offer him more, however, the CANAM league has a strict salary cap and we simply cannot exceed the current offer."
So far the story has been covered by FOX 25, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today Online, Fox Sports Online, The Wall Street Journal Online, The Providence Journal, and many fan blogs (Including this blog and my radio program Father Peter Live.)
The Tornadoes are eagerly awaiting a response from the Ramirez camp as Major League Baseball's spring training approaches and teams firm up their rosters. The Tornadoes enter their Fifth Anniversary Season in 2009. More information is available through www.worcestertornadoes.com or by calling the Tornadoes at (508)-792-2288.
