- 2-year deal guaranteeing $45 million for two years ($25 million the first year and $20 million the second).
- Escape clause after the first year was added at Boras' request so Ramirez could become a free agent again after the 2009 season.
This could provoke a signing soon, however it could mean seeing Manny in Dodger Blue for as little as half a season. If he has an out-clause after the '09 season, he could conceivably be moved at the trade deadline.
This whole situation reminds me of the end of "Back to the Future" when Marty pulls out a photo of his siblings and is overwhelmed with emotion to see them become more and more clear. The vision of Manny returning to the Ravine is becoming more and more clear. Of course, Marty had to deliver a knock-out blow to Biff and perform "Earth Angel" and "Johnny B. Goode" with a severely bloodied hand, as well as almost kiss his mother while he "parked", while Coletti only has to deal with Boras. Ok, kind of a stretch, but you get the idea.

If they don't wrap up the deal this time I think negotiations might collpase completely.
It's strange that Frank and Ned are playing hardball with Manny after some of the contracts they've dished out in the past.
I'd have no problem giving Manny 3 years. If Manny were to finish his career in LA he could potentially be elected to the HOF as a Dodger.
Manny = Cash cow
Get the deal done already and try to keep the big fella happy in the process.
