UPDATE (7:15 PM CT): Deal is now official. Manny has passed his physical and signed the contract. Here's the official press release from the Dodgers. Also, here are a few more Manny links for today, via MLBTR again, mostly just writer reactions, etc.
**********
The deal is basically the same one he was offered by the Dodgers last week: two years, $45MM ($25MM the first year in deferred compensation over 5 years with a player opt-out option after the first year).
I haven't had a chance to gather my thoughts on the deal today, but let's just say I'm glad it's over, and now we can focus on baseball... on the field.
Having said that, for a list of all the links from this morning regarding the deal, check out MLBTR and also the Dodgers official website, including this timeline of the negotiation process.
As for on the field stuff, Orlando Hudson woke up this morning with some soreness in his wrist, the same one he had surgery on last year, and was scratched from today's Cactus league game.. It doesn't appear to be serious, and he is expected to play tomorrow, or the next time Furcal plays, whenever that might be.
That's about it.
