PHOENIX Manny Ramirez and the Oakland Athletics have reached agreement on a minor league contract Monday that will pay the suspended slugger approximately $500,000 if he's added to the big league roster.

Ramirez is expected to report to spring training by the end of the week. He was working out in Florida this winter.

The 12-time All-Star has to serve a 50-game suspension for his second positive drug test before he can play for the A's. Barring rainouts, his first game could be May 30 - his 40th birthday.

Ramirez ranks 14th on the career list with 555 home runs. He is a career .312 hitter with 1,831 RBIs.

Arizona: Shortstop Stephen Drew, who broke his right ankle and severely damaged ligaments sliding into home seven months ago, took part in the first drills of camp. Drew said it's too early to tell if he will be ready for the April 6 opener.

Atlanta: Pitcher Tommy Hanson was being checked for a possible concussion after blowing a tire on his way to the first workout in Kissimmee, Fla. The right-hander wrecked near the team's training complex and apparently bumped his head on the steering wheel or windshield.

If everything checked out OK, Hanson should be on the field within a day or two.

Colorado: Manager Jim Tracy has received what general manager Dan O'Dowd calls an "indefinite" contract extension. Tracy's previous contract took him through this season.

Detroit: It was to be the first workout for pitchers and catchers, but Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera put on the best show with their brief batting practice display in Lakeland, Fla. They combined to hit 68 home runs last year.

Los Angeles Angels: First baseman Albert Pujols pulled into the players' parking lot at 7:15 a.m. local time in Tempe, Ariz. There were a handful of fans waiting to catch a glimpse of the nine-time All-Star.

Although only the Angels' pitchers and catchers had to be at camp this early, Pujols wanted to be there from Day One as well. That's how he has done it since breaking into the big leagues in 2001.

New York Yankees: Raul Ibanez has agreed to a $1.1 million, one-year contract that allows him to make $2.9 million more in bonuses, a person familiar with the agreement said. The outfielder, who played with Philadelphia the past three seasons, is expected to be the primary designated hitter against right-handed starting pitchers.

Closer Mariano Rivera, 42, hinted 2012 could be his final year in the majors, saying he won't announce his long-term plans until after the season. Rivera, the career saves leader with 603, says he has reached a decision about whether he will retire or return in 2013 but won't reveal it until "maybe October."

San Diego: Left-hander Clayton Richard has been cleared by the team's medical staff less than seven months after he had arthroscopic shoulder surgery, and Dustin Moseley, who is in contention for the final spot in the rotation, is healthy again after having the capsule in his non-throwing shoulder repaired Aug. 3.

Seattle: Mike Carp is remembering Mariners prospect Greg Halman this spring with a T-shirt that he gave to each of his teammates that reads "Brother for life" in Dutch on the front. Halman was a popular clubhouse figure before he was stabbed to death during November while in his native Netherlands for a series of clinics throughout Europe.

Washington: Manager Davey Johnson said realistically there are only three positions open on the Nationals roster: fifth starter, utility player and outfield.

First-round pick Anthony Rendon said he has been told he will play third, shortstop and second during his first pro spring training. He also understands "there's a really high chance I'm not going to make the team" and is prepared to start the year in the minors.
