In January, former MLB star Manny Ramirez announced that he had agreed to terms with the Kochi Fighting Dogs of Japan’s Shikoku Island League.
Now, we know what some of those terms are — and they’re pretty great.
As part of his deal with the four-team independent league, the two-time World Series champion with the Boston Red Sox has been granted the use of a Mercedes and a driver, will stay at a luxury hotel suite while on the road, and has been promised unlimited sushi during his time with the team, according to The Boston Globe.
Oh, and practices? They’re optional.
The 44-year-old, whose major-league career ended in 2011, will wear No. 99 with the Fighting Dogs and his jersey will feature just the name “Manny.”
Forget your typical performance incentives; Ramirez’s new contract features the kinds of perks we can all get on board with.
