Could be two years and an option for 2011
Just did a phone interview for ESPNNews. Those guys seem to think it's two years and an option. That probably means the total guarantee is something LESS than $72 million, because it would only include the buyout of the option year.
Yeah, but how often is ESPN right? Gammons tends to make up rumors just to see what sticks. I'd like to see them offer Manny 3 years at whatever it takes, and then another 1-2 option or incentive-laden years.
For crap sake...give him at least 3 years w/ a 4th option. Manny needs to remain a Dodger. Don't screw this up Ned and co. We pay the ridiculous ticket prices year after year, pay 15 dollars to park at a disorganized parking nightmare, pay 5-6 dollars for hot dogs that are soggy, deal w/ cholos in every section, commute to the park and haven't won a world series in 2-decades. SIGN HIM.
Listen to the racist Ned!
