Why Hanley Ramirez?

Late Saturday night, the Cleveland Indians agreed to a minor-league deal with free agent designated hitter Hanley Ramirez that could be worth as much as $1 million with incentives.

Two questions you may have about that signing:

  1. Is it that Hanley Ramirez?
  2. Why?

Yes, it is that Hanley Ramirez. The former superstar who looked like he was on a path to Cooperstown early in his career as a power-hitting shortstop with the wheels to be a monster on the bases. A true triple threat of a player basking in the Florida Marlins sun.
