This is getting to be the most interesting baseball story this winter. Where will Manny go and what will they pay him?
An "MBL insider" has stated that the Giants have made an aggressive' 4-year offer to Ramirez. No money was mentioned but it was leaked that the 4th year was a club option. A Giant official was quoted as saying "It's not happening." Further investigation has indicated that the "insider" was probably Scott Boras.
Is anyone shocked by this? Boras is a master at getting teams to bid against ghosts, and this looks like one more attempt. The Dodgers have still not made any offers to Manny.
Another Boras client, Derek Lowe, is said to be disappointed at the Mets offer of 3-years for $36 million. Boras, er-I mean Lowe, wants 4-years for $64 million. Another shot for the Boras Mystery Team in the wings.
