Dodgers offer Manny a 1 year 25 million dollar contract

[herpes]

They pulled the 2 year/45 million contract and put this one on the table and a 48 hour window to accept.  But theres some rumblings with the Mutts getting there rotation together they may make a run at Manny

[the ghost]

TBH I think he should take it.  Economy looks like it will be even worse next year.  25 mill is second highest in the game right now.  Hes a hell of a hitter but Im not sure hes worth that much

[Lunatic]

^with that bad economy, he may want a long-term deal.

[the ghost]

True, but I just dont see a team willing to go 3 or 4 years at 25 mill a season any more.  This year there are just a lot of teams hunkering down.  There are some great players still jobless.  Abreu, Dunn, Anderson, these dudes arent at Mannys level but they could help for a lot less.  I think he should see how things look next year cause its ugly for hm right now.  but with Boras you never know

this is getting old.  sign him this week or move on.  thats how i feel, anyway. 

[J.D. Wykid, Esq.]

well that didnt last long..

the couple of months we had with him were amazing..but its time for them to move on.  2 years woth 45M with an option for a 3rd year that woulda raised it to 60M total got laughed at.  oh well. time to focus on abreu or dunn.. 

Manny Ramirez wasted no time rejecting the Dodgers' latest offer, a one-year, $25-million proposal that was presented Sunday to his agent, Scott Boras.

they do that and you'll be griping all year about how wack the team is

can you imagine having Adam Dunn and Matt Kemp in the same lineup?

Abreu has some pop but what the hell kind of team will it be if he's our guy, give me a break..

they need to just get Manny ---- 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, whatever the fuck they wanna do

he's the best player to be with the franchise in over 10 years, take a chance, without him they're bad

[J.D. Wykid, Esq.]

i want manny back, as do 99% of fans and most of the players..i know kemp, loney, martin and ethier have all praised him and his attitude.  i think his personality fits right in with our younger core.  LA is great for him and hes great for LA..but this is taking way too fucking long.  this shoulda been handled in December, not dragged out to fucking February..a few days before ST starts. 

if it were up to me, i would of offered him 3 guaranteed years..but who knows if he will even accept that...he is dead set on 4 years, and i dont think anyone will give him that.  i dont care how good he is, if he is given a four year contract he'll be in his 40s before its done.  he'll be taken out of the game in the 7th just like barroids was. 

if we dont resign him this week, i have a strong feeling the dodgers will be moving on.

Dodger will be very stupid to not re-sign Manny.

[Javier]

I'd rather see Dunn + Sheets + Another FA so we can get some offense for more than three years at least. 

[Chamillitary Click]

sign em Bombers!

He already rejected their deal..looks like he's not coming back.  Wonder who's gonna sign him...

I read the Dodgers will now focus on Dunn, Orlando Hudson, and Randy Wolf.  I don't think Sheets will sign with anyone until midseason.  Even the Texas Rangers passed on him for a year and they need pitching, so you know his medical report must be fucked up.

[white Boy]

id love to see nobody sign manny, that would be hillarious
