Not Manny. Not yet anyway. Obviously, I was way off in my prediction last night that Manny might be signed by mid-day today. But they did sign veteran first-baseman Doug Meintkiewicz and the Red Sox 2007 World Series-winning ball to minor league contracts and invited them both to camp. Official press release here.
Still no word on Manny, and Ned doesn't expect a response until tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Hated Ones to the North are basically in the same boat they were in before this week. They're really not getting involved in any kind of a bidding war, and as of today, claim they hadn't been asked to submit an offer for him. Giants President Larry Baer is still convinced Manny will re-sign with the Dodgers.
And in related news, check out this satirical blurb picked up by the Dodgers PR guy, Josh Rawitch, courtesy of The Onion. Pretty hilarious stuff!
So hang tight, enjoy your night, and hopefully there will be some news by morning.
