Will He Stay or Will He Go Now?



The eyes of the baseball world are squarely on Manny Ramirez. It seems like there is no other team out there that will acquire his services, but you never know when a team will have a change of heart and snatch him from the Dodgers.
My take is that the Dodgers are handling the situation well, and making Boras sweat for a change. No one will take Manny, fearing that he will "dog it" just like he did with the Red Sox, so the Dodgers are seemingly competing against themselves.
The Dodgers have given him two great contract offers. The first was $45 million for two years, with an option for a third, that would've made the contract worth $60 million. The other was the recent rejection of a one-year deal worth $25 million, which would've made him the 2nd highest paid player in MLB history, behind A-Fraud.
Let's hope Manny will be Manny and slap Bor-Ass just like A-Fraud did, and realize that this depressed economy will not give him the contract he envisioned. Let's face it, nobody wants to see Juan Pierre start in left field...NOBODY.
The question is: What should the Dodgers do...
- Give in to his demands and offer him a Four-to-Five multi-year deal worth $100 million?
- Continue to play hardball with the negotiations and hope that he eventually gives in to the Dodgers' intention to give him a 1-2 year deal with an option for a third?
- Forget about Ramirez and use all those millions to sign multiple players to fill in holes in their pitching staff and starting lineup? (Players like Adam Dunn, Orlando Hudson, & Ben Sheets for example)
