Manny rejects Dodgers offer

[RyanLeaf16]

I liked Frank McCourt's statement. Basically told Boras to go pound sand. I don't know what more Manny/Boras want. Manny receives a guaranteed $25mm this season and control's his own destiny for next season. If he tears the cover off the ball - he can opt out and open himself up to the highest bidder...again. If he has a down year, he can pick up his option and guarantee himself $20mm for next season. Not sure what more he wants.

In a way I'm flat out shocked the Cubs haven't at least got involved. Soriano said he'd be willing to move back to 2nd if the got him.

and if I hear that fucking "oh thats Manny being Manny" quote I'll puke. FUCK MANNY.

Well thats just Bonds being Bonds, who the fuck is manny anyway.

I want two things for Christmas
1- Please dont let my Angels get involved now
2 - let Manny sit and rot this season.

, who the fuck is manny anyway.

Maybe the greatest hitter of our generation and a lock for being a 1st ballot HOF'er.

I agree. Greatest hitter of our generation and maybe the great right handed hitter of all time.

I know who he is but to act like this, he's no team player, a cancer and I wouldnt want him on my team. I think people will look back on this shit when its vote time. I still think Bonds was/is the most dangerous hitter in out generation. Who cares about Roids, he still had to put the bat on the ball.

I LOVE Bonds and used to prescribe to the "still had to put the bat on the ball" but I've talked to a lot of baseball players and they all say the same thing. A lot of guys can put the bat on the ball but a lot of them end up flying out to deep left or right field. Some juice gets that fly over the fence. That said, I'm still a huge Bonds fan and agree that he's one of the best we'll ever see.

The baseball writers vote....

Manny helped them make a living with stories like this. Writers LOVE Manny. He makes them money.

Griffey Jr. >>>>> Bonds

[manchild24]

MAYBE IF he stayed healthy. Im a huge Griffey fan

Co-sign!

Then again after Bonds first injury filled year in '99 he started roiding hardcore. I don't blame Griffey for geting hurt. He played an all-around better game than Bonds, stayed cleaned, and was the best player I have ever seen.

Like I'm ever going to argue that one Firsttimer!!! First HR back for the Mariners coming up late next week. Going to be a cause for a next day hangover/sick day.

Word is that now, the deal hit a snag b/c McCourt and Colleti wanted to defer the money in the option year. Basically Manny/Boras wanted that money paid in full during the option year.

With that now coming to light, I can understand why Manny may have rejected the offer. McCourt basically asked Manny to extend the Dodgers a line of credit. Not saying, I agree with Manny on his decision, but, I can see why he may not accept.
