New York, NY (My Sportsbook) - Manny Ramirez and Mark Teixeira highlight a list of 65 Major League players who filed for free agency on Thursday.

Garret Anderson, Jason Varitek, Derek Lowe, Ryan Dempster and Ben Sheets were also among the players who filed just a day after the Philadelphia Phillies won their first World Series title since 1980.

Potential free agents have until November 13 to make themselves eligible to the masses.

Though Ramirez, 36, only spent two-plus months with Los Angeles, his presence was surely felt in carrying the Dodgers to the postseason and a National League Division Series sweep of the Chicago Cubs. After a tumultuous split with the Boston Red Sox that ended with a three-team deal at the July 31 trade deadline, the outfielder belted 17 home runs and recorded 53 RBI in just 53 regular season games with the Dodgers.

Teixeira was also a mid-season acquisition of the American League Western Division champion Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. After being dealt from the Atlanta Braves, the 28-year-old first baseman hit .358 with 13 home runs and 43 RBI in 54 games with the Angels.

His teammate Anderson did not have his contract option picked up by the Angels after 15 seasons with the club. The 36-year-old outfielder compiled a .293 average with 15 homers and 84 RBI last year.

Varitek, a staple behind the plate of two Red Sox championships (2004, 2007), was a paltry .220 at the plate this season with 13 round-trippers and 43 RBI for Boston.

Three premiere pitching options in Lowe, Dempster and Sheets will be available to those looking for an extra arm. Lowe, in his 13th season, went 14-11 with a 3.24 earned run average last year, his fourth with the Dodgers.

Dempster had his best year in the majors in what was his 11th season and fifth with the Chicago, posting a 17-6 mark with a 2.96 ERA in 33 starts for the National League Central champion Cubs.

Sheets struggled with injuries at the tail end of the 2008 season, but he started 31 games -- his most since 2004 -- and went 13-9 with a 3.09 ERA in helping to lead the Brewers to a postseason appearance.

The St. Louis Cardinals had the most players file for free agency on Thursday with six: shortstop Cesar Izturis, catcher Jason LaRue, second baseman Felipe Lopez, and pitchers Braden Looper, Russ Springer and Ron Villone.

Other notable players filing included the Yankees' Bobby Abreu and Ivan Rodriguez, the Angels' Jon Garland, the Rangers' Hank Blalock and Milton Bradley and the Mariners' Raul Ibanez.
