Well, it was fun to think about.
Now reality has set in.
Manny Ramirez will not be playing in Omaha.
According to published reports, the suspended Major League slugger will join Triple A Albuquerque on Tuesday for a three-game series. He will then leave the team to join Class A Inland Empire for a three-game series starting June 27th, before joining the Dodgers July 1st. Albuquerque opens up a four-game series in Omaha on June 27th.
The Royals also play in Albuquerque June 18th through 21st. Manny is set to join Albuquerque June 23rd.
Oh…… so close.
