And this time it's official. Last week we heard SI's Jon Heyman say it was coming, and today, through his agent Scott Boras, Manny notified the Dodgers that he was not opting out of his contract and instead was exercising the $20MM option for 2010.
Also, five more Dodgers filed for free agency today: Brad Ausmus, Vicente Padilla, Guillermo Mota, Jeff Weaver and Jim Thome. We already know of the Dodgers interest in retaining Padilla's services, and if he doesn't retire, they would probably like to bring back Ausmus for one more season, as well, to back up Russell Martin.
