Yeah, so Manny is back

Remember when Dodgers owner Frank McCourt vowed a few days ago that talks with Manny Ramirez would start from scratch? Well, the outfielder signed for the two-year, $45 million structure that was on the table then, with the opt-out clause at the end of the coming season. We don't yet know how the deferred payments issue was resolved, but Dylan Hernandez says in the LAT that Manny and McCourt already met this morning and a deal was reached pending a physical. Both Joe Torre and Ned Colletti were summoned back to L.A., but will return to Phoenix for today's game, says Ken Gurnick at MLB.com.
