Former MLB All-Star outfielder Manny Ramirez said Wednesday he's hoping to play in Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League during the 2020 season.

Ramirez, who played for the Fubon Guardians (then the EDA Rhinos) in 2013, told Mark Buckton of the Taiwan Times he's looking to make a comeback despite turning 48 in May.

"My goal for 2020, is to find a roster spot in the CPBL," he said. "I have been itching to get back in the batter's box and be able to compete again. I also miss being around teammates and team dinners postgame.
