Dodgers Put Manny Ramirez on Waivers

Filed under: Dodgers, White SoxIt looks like we'll finally get a chance to find out if all there's fire behind all the smoke when it comes to interest in Manny Ramirez.

A baseball source confirmed to FanHouse's Jeff Fletcher that the Dodgers have placed the outfielder on waivers on Wednesday, which means teams have until Friday to put in a claim. If someone does claim Manny, the Dodgers have until Tuesday to decide whether to let him walk, pull him back or work out a trade with the claiming team.

With the Dodgers now well out of the race in the NL West, you can expect that they'll be seriously looking at that final option. Picking up even a low-level prospect for Manny makes sense for a team that has an uncertain financial future. Failing that, they may just let him walk away to save a little bit of money now.
