It seems only fitting: Manny Ramirez(notes) played much of his career under a cloud of controversy. Now he's ending it in the exact same fashion.
In an unexpected announcement on Friday afternoon, Major League Baseball said that Ramirez is electing to retire from the 0-6 Tampa Bay Rays less than a week into the season rather than address a drug "issue" raised by the league.
MLB won't identify the issue, but Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports that it's a drug test that Ramirez failed during spring training. Ramirez also failed a drug test in 2009 and served a 50-game suspension while with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
