Ex-Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez said he wants to work as MLB hitting coach

Former Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez wants to make it back to the big leagues, according to a report from MLB insider Hector Gomez.

At age 52, Ramirez’s professional playing days are over, but he has a desire to take his coaching career to the next level.

“I’m available to work as a hitting coach for any of the 30 MLB teams,” Ramirez told Gomez. “I’m confident I can help any team significantly improve their offense.”

Ramirez had a brief stint as a player-coach for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs in 2014, before his role changed to hitting consultant the following year.
