May 28, 200916 yr In documents presented to the prosecutors office in the Peravia judicial district -- located 40 miles southeast of the Dominican capital -- Ramirez and his agent Jaime Torres are accused of owing Julio Martinez and Ramon Fernandez $450,000 from a signing bonus. The plaintiffs are also asking for an additional $131,156, which represents 5 percent of Ramirez's income from two years in the majors, the documents say. The $20 million claim is for damages and violating the contract. Give me a Break!!! it looks like 580,000 at most IF THIS IS EVEN LEGIT, where in God's name do they think they can score 20 million...GREEDY BASTARDS Edited May 28, 200916 yr by WSoxMatt
May 28, 200916 yr Author you always break the bank with what's "owed for damages"....if settled, it would be for far less IMO
May 28, 200916 yr Somebody explain to me why Ramirez would need to hire "talent scouts"? On the face of it, this seems like a scam.

May 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 28, 2009 -> 03:20 PM) Couldn't he just refuse to pay it, and then never return to the Dominican? Considering his wife is Domincan, that might not be a great option.

May 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 28, 2009 -> 02:20 PM) Couldn't he just refuse to pay it, and then never return to the Dominican? depends what type of agreements the U.S. and the Dominican have for liens and the like. I have no idea if there are any, but if there are, then he really should deal with it

I don't think that even the Dominican's or any Latin American citizen can figure out the legal sytems in some of those countries. I lived in Central America for over six yers and believe me it is a real strange system
