Manny Ramirez has indicated he's seeking a long-term deal. So the Dodgers, after pulling their two-year, $45 million offer, are now offering one year at $25 million. Somehow I don't think this is the direction Scott Boras wanted to go in.
Diamond Leung thinks the new offer may allow Ramirez to reassess his timeline:
But accepting $25 million with a week before spring training starts might now be an option for Ramirez given that he would be able to re-enter the free-agent market next year when suitors might be more prevalent.
Meanwhile, Tony Jackson sniffs the scent of "take it or leave it" in the air:
But it also has been hinted to me -- not told to me in so many words, but hinted to me -- that this is akin to a final offer and that the Dodgers will "move on" if Ramirez turns up his nose at it.
Jackson also says we may have an answer by Wednesday.
Your move, Giants.
