As expected, it looks like Hanley Ramirez will reject the Dodgers’ $15.3 million qualifying offer and become a free agent. At least, that was the logical conclusion after Ramirez all but renounced his ties to the Dodgers in a series of tweets Thursday:

Free Agency. Hard and important decisions to make. But exciting times. God and Family always. #iSeeYou

Love #Hanleywood make no mistake. Free agency is a right that we earn with hard work #LetsSeeWhatHappens

Ramirez also changed his Twitter bio to read “MLB shortstop,” taken from the business card of a man who knows what position he wants to play but doesn’t care where.

If Ramirez had accepted the Dodgers’ qualifying offer, he would be taking a voluntary pay cut from his 2014 salary. Considering he led all major-league shortstops in slugging percentage and on-base percentage (among a host of offensive categories) this season, that seemed unlikely.

Ramirez, 30, is likely to draw more interest from American League clubs who can use him as a designated hitter. Ramirez’s limited range at shortstop led the Dodgers to replace him late in games regularly as the season went on.

Amid a report that the Dodgers have inquired on at least one American League shortstop, the lack of interest seems mutual.
