They are just now figuring this out?

I really hope no one else offers Manny more than $10 million per. Boras is taking a huge gamble with the way he is conducting these negotiations and I would love to see his tactics come back to bite him in the arse

Man, hopefully it is just due to some verbiage in the deal and not some pipe dream of 4 years 100 mil.

If Manny goes unsigned, it would be a real shame for both he and the Dodgers, but it would be fitting for Boras. Others might disagree, but I think he guaranteed Manny a humongous deal and now cant deliver on it.

Boras and Manny are a great fit, both are a-holes.

Too bad the Yankees want nothing to do with him and the Dodgers know this.

Manny can think he worth a certain amount, but in the end, he's only worth what someone is willing to pay ... and that's $45MM over 2 years.

What a douche, turning down the opportunity to be the 2nd highest paid player in the majors? Nice, maybe if he would have conducted himself better in Boston and didn't have such a shitty attitude in general teams would be willing to give him longer deals.

He must know that the giants are willing to give him a 3rd year. Very smart move by manny/boras.
