Manny Ramirez doesn't fit the Yankees' desire to get younger and more athletic, but several industry sources believe the Yankees will make a serious push for the free agent to play right field next year. Though GM Brian Cashman says the top offseason priority is starting pitching, he did not rule out interest in the 36-year-old Ramirez.

And as far as your question goes this morning, Faith, it appears as though Bond is feeling just a tad grossed out this morning.

October 30, 2008  08:29 AM ET

good. age doesnt matter when he can smash the ball in the clutch like no other. I will take his goofy antics and run with it into the post season.

October 30, 2008  08:39 AM ET

Congrats Phillies! At least the stench will smell like bubblie for a while.....

October 30, 2008  08:39 AM ET

If it could be done for a 1 or 2 year deal........I'd do it
