The Los Angeles Dodgers are "absolutely" interested in extending Hanley Ramirez's contract, according to controlling owner Mark Walter.
Ramirez's current contract runs through the end of the 2014 season.
"I think a guy like Hanley Ramirez, he's a special, special player," Walter said. "If you know where we could find five more, we'll take them all. I don't think there are five more."
Ramirez will earn $15.5 million this year and $16 million next year.
"Hanley's a special guy," Walter said. "He's fun in the clubhouse. He inspires other people. He hits the ball harder than anybody else."
