ST PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez are officially back in the AL East and ready to help the Tampa Bay Rays beat their former teams.
"We're baaack," Ramirez said as he took the stage for Tuesday's news conference to introduce the veteran outfielders who signed one-year deals with the Rays.
Damon agreed to a one-year deal worth $5.25 million plus $750,000 in bonuses based on attendance. Ramirez signed for one year at $2 million.
Damon will play left field while Ramirez will be the Rays' designated hitter next season. Manager Joe Maddon said he hasn't yet settled on a batting order but said that Damon and Ramirez provide him with several options.
Ramirez and Damon played together for four years in Boston and in 2004, Damon dubbed the Red Sox "idiots" on the way to the franchise's first World Series title in 86 years.

Manny will bring the crowd. Damon may still have a year left in him. Manny was out more last year than in I think for the Dodgers.
