Bye-bye K-Rod; hello Manny?

Somebody might want to adjust those odds on Francisco Rodriguez returning to the Angels. Owner Arte Moreno used the airwaves of his own radio station on Wednesday to let it be known that negotiations with Rodriguez have not been going well for over a year now. Looks like the Angels will have a new closer in 2009.

Moreno also said he would be interested in adding Manny Ramirez to the fold. To paraphrase what Moreno had to say: Manny's good. Why wouldn't the Angels be interested?
