Manny Ramirez is a free agent again after he asked the Oakland Athletics to release him and the team granted his request on Friday. "The A's treated me amazingly during all this time, but sadly didn't have space for me and this is something I can't control," Ramirez told ESPNDeportes.com's Enrique Rojas by phone. "I'm going home to continue my training hoping to get the chance to play again. I'll be waiting for that call and if God believes (playing) is the best for me, then it'll happen. If not, I'll understand. "It was an amazing experience. I was given tremendous treatment by Oakland's major league and Triple-A staff. I'll always have them in my heart. I was ready to play, but Oakland didn't have a space in its roster. I understand." Read more: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8058865/oakland-athletics-give-release-slugger-manny-ramirez
