The Dodgers are still trying to bring back Manny Ramirez. Only the enigmatic slugger doesn’t like their latest deal.

He rejected their third offer — for one year — that would have made him baseball’s second-highest paid player behind Alex Rodriguez.

That leaves Ramirez unsigned three months after deciding to test his value in the recession-plagued free agent market, with the Dodgers the only team to have confirmed making any offers.

The latest deal — a one-year, $25 million offer — was rejected Monday. It would have given Ramirez the second-highest average salary behind New York Yankees third baseman Rodriguez’s $275 million, 10-year contract.

‘‘We came up with what we thought was a creative proposal to give him a lot of money, and well deserved in a challenging economy, and give him flexibility if he feels it’s important to test free agency next year,’’ McCourt told MLB.com. ‘‘I don’t see long-term contracts happening in this market we’re in.’’

Ramirez, who turns 37 in May, is believed to be seeking a four- or five-year deal starting at $25 million per season.
