Former Boston Red Sox star slugger Manny Ramirez wants to return to professional baseball and play in the Chinese Professional Baseball League in Taiwan, he told the Taiwan Times. He will turn 48 on May 30.
“My goal for 2020, is to find a roster spot in the CPBL,” Ramirez said. “I have been itching to get back in the batter’s box and be able to compete again.”
Ramirez previously played in Taiwan with the EDL Rhinos (now the Fubon Guardians) in 2013. He hit .352 with eight home runs and 43 RBIs in 49 games.
