Dodgers offered Manny a HUGE contract.

Accordingto Foxsports.com, “Alex Rodriguez owns the highest average salary in major league history. His current deal with the Yankees, signed last offseason, is a 10-year, $275 milllion pact, putting the average salary at $27.5 million. The Mets’ Johan Santana has a six-year, $137.5 million contract, an average of just over $22.9 million. That means that the average salary offered to Ramirez was somewhere between $22.9 million and $27.5 million per year.”
Manny is 36 years old. How much baseball does he have left in him? LA can only offer him 2-4 years. 25 mill a year for 4 years is 100 million. CRAZY! If you were manny, would you take the Dodgers money, or would you find a team that can possible compete?
