Manny Ramirez: I need an opportunity to show that 'Super Manny' can help a team

Veteran slugger Manny Ramirez hasn't appeared in a big-league game since 2011, but the 41-year-old isn't yet willing to consider retirement, according to ESPN's Enrique Rojas.

Ramirez, who compiled 555 home runs with a 154 OPS+ over 19 seasons in the majors, continues to work out at his personal complex in the Miami area and remains convinced that he can contribute to a big-league team.

"My qualities are still there, and I just need an opportunity to continue showing that the 'Super Manny' can help a team," Ramirez said Thursday on "Grandes en los Deportes" on ESPN Radio 104.5 FM in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Ramirez inked minor-league deals with the Athletics and Rangers, respectively, over the last two seasons, but requested his release after not being promoted to the majors.

"For now, I have no team interested, but I'm still working. Maybe I don't have anything this week, but who knows? Maybe next week I could get a call," Ramirez said.
