Show Manny The Money



Another day, another Manny Ramirez rejection...

Via a letter sent to the Dodgers from his agent, Scott Boras, Manny Ramirez rejected the club's latest offer on Thursday.

"We love Manny Ramirez and we want Manny back, but we feel we are negotiating against ourselves," said Dodgers owner Frank McCourt.

"So now, we start from scratch."

Manny Ramirez can't be so naive to think a four year contract from a mystery team is waiting in the wings. Therefore, it's gotta be about the money.

The Dodgers have been pretty firm in limiting their monetary offer; however, it appears that it's going to take a bit more cash to get this deal done. While it's easy for me to say the Dodgers should simply increase their offer by $10 million, logical thinking kicks back and shouts not to give into temptation.

In the end however, the Dodgers have a serious chance of making a World Series run. If it takes a few extra million to get there, so be it.
