| 25th February, 2009 - 9:00 pm | ESPN - Dodgers' general manager Ned Colletti and owner Frank McCourt had a lengthy meeting on Wednesday with Manny Ramirez's agent, Scott Boras, and a Boras associate, according to a source familiar with the negotiations, and extended a new offer to the free agent.
According to the source, the offer is for two years and $45 million, but it is structured differently than the Dodgers' previous offer at those numbers. This deal would pay Ramirez $25 million in the first year, with a player-only option for $20 million for the second season. The previous offer had been structured this way: $15 million for 2009, $22.5 million for 2010, a team option for 2011 for $22.5 million or a $7.5 million buyout.
RealGM Note: Manny was ranked 16th in season FIC during the 2008 season and 'deserved' to make $16 million, giving him a Reina Value of -15%. [READ] |
