Dodgers Says Reports About Manny Are Off-Base
25th October, 2008 - 9:32 am
Los Angeles Times - Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti says that all reports regarding the type of contract the team will offer Manny Ramirez are off-base.

"By the time we get through the weekend, there will be 15 more reports out there that I'll be laughing at," Colletti said.

SI.com reported Wednesday that the Dodgers wanted to offer Ramirez a deal that would come close to matching Alex Rodriguez's annual average salary of $27.5 million but over a shorter period.

The New York Post reported Friday that the Dodgers offered Ramirez a two-year, $60-million contract.

Colletti said the reports were false, claiming that the Dodgers haven't had any internal conversations about the value or length of a deal they should offer Ramirez.

"We intend to meet with Scott some time in the near future and try to see what's on his mind," Colletti said. [READ]
