"Manny Ramirez received a new one-year contract offer worth a reported $25 million from the Los Angeles Dodgers last night ... and he promptly rejected it. According to Los Angeles Times columnist T.J. Simers, Manny's agent Scott Boras said he informed Ramirez of the offer -- what he classified as a suggestion by the Dodgers, the LA Times reports -- and the former Red Sox outfielder turned it down. Boras said that he informed the Dodgers of Ramirez's decision last night (Boston Globe)."
Manny's stock just keeps sliding. If you can remember back in November the Dodgers offered Manny a two-year $45 million contract, which he turned down. Now the Dodgers have come back and lowered the years of the contract to just one, and this might be the last contract he gets offered from LA. If I was the Dodgers I would turn by sights to Abreu, because you could probably sign him to a 1 year $7 million deal (he is worth so much more than that). Manny is too good of a player to sit out the season, but I don't see him getting anymore than that 2 year $45 million offer that he got back in November.
