The L.A. Dodgers have still not signed Manny Ramirez. He has been given offers like one year for 25 million, and two years for 42 million. Yet nothing has been good enough. The word now is the negotions will start over. Ideally, I would just like all the owners to to come together and offer this guy 0.00 dollars. With the way the economy is right now, 25 million should easily be enough to play baseball for a season.

We all have our crosses to bear, don't we? I wish the only employment issues I had involved salary negotiations.

This year I think fans will make it a long, noisy walk back to the dugout for a player striking out while making anything near $25 million a year... Those fans that can afford to go to a game, that is.

The word today is that he will get a two year $45 million contract. That is a lot of money, and I don't think he is worth that much.

I would love to have the problems of how I was going to spend my 45 million dollars. I found this article on ESPN. This is the break down of his 45 mill.
"Ramirez gets $10 million this year, and $15 million in deferred money with no interest. A plan the sides discussed would have it payable in $5 million installments each from 2010 through 2012. If it winds up as a two-year deal, the plan called for $10 million each season, with three payments of $8,333,333 each from 2011-13"
I just don't think he is worth it. They even admitted in this article how difficult he is to work with. Why keep him then?

Easily.
