Boras Wants $55MM for Manny

Tony Jackson has the story here.

This is really getting ridiculous. Why on earth would the Dodgers give in to another $10MM in total salary when they're the only known team to have made any offers period? I'm baffled by Scott Boras, I really am.

Oh, and I have to share something else with anyone who might be reading this. This is actually very comical, amusing, laughable, whatever you want to call it. I left a comment on MLBTR a bit ago in today's Manny thread about how I didn't understand the Dodgers reasoning for deferring any money for Manny. I'll leave names out of this, but one certain Yankee fan responded to my comment by suggesting the Dodgers could just "cancel" Manny's contract after one year and not pay the remaining portion of the deferred money should he act up during the season. According to him, this would save the Dodgers from having to give Manny the remaining $15MM of the $25MM he's guaranteed.

I'll wait until you're done laughing.....

Ok. I'm done laughing my ass off, too. And on that note, more on Manny when it develops...
