what does everyone think about that soap opera? i think NO team in baseball should sign that arrogant slug. let him sit on the outside lookin in for a season. what a jerk!

[IFallsRon]

It would be nice to see some fiscal restraint by the Dodgers. No one is bidding against them and the trend this season has been not to give into free agent demands.

[mrklean]

hes a good player but i would love to see him sit on the sidelines

[B. Amish]

he was the reason they got into the playoffs last year.

both sides are at fault here.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I think he is good, but arrogant along with his agent. Glad to see a team just draw a line and say no more, take it or leave it. 20 or 25 mil to play baseball is getting crazy IMO. I remember the buzz when Kirby re-signed and was the first 3 mil a year player, people that Carl was crazy then. Though I think Kirby was the top paid player for all of 4 days or something

[Gary Crichton]

NO person is worth that kind of money. NO ONE, not even me.

He is starting to sound like Sprewell. "I HAVE TO FEED MY FAMILY"

I hope he doesn't get any more offers,then lets see him come crawling back. He will come to his senses I would think, at 45 million for 2 years, but when you are like them, who knows. By the way where is Spreewell, now adays.

[B. Amish]

he just signed with the dodgers. two years and 45 million.

the last I heard of Latrell he was getting his yacht and other things possessed because he didn't make the payments.....

[Gary Crichton]

That should suprise no one there. Go figure.

They guy is still a stud, and can hit the beep out of the ball. Just needs to show up and play, and i think he will for torre

Agreed, he is probably the best hitter in baseball not named Albert Pujols. The Dodgers will be glad they have him.

[Chisox]

I agree with Bass n' Spear. The guy is a stud and he has put up hall of fame numbers. If you listen to the experts they call him an "one-who-thinks-I-am-silly savant" of hitting. I personally think the guy would pay for peanuts but with Boras as an agent he is going to try and get the most he can.

[Gary Crichton]

The guy is a YAHOO. He is NOT that good of fielder, and very bad influence on other players. He plays when he wants and trys to be a show off, when he wants. It is all about HIM. I think he spells team TIEAM.

He is also NOT worth 45 mill for 2 years, but if someone is stupid enough to pay him, hey go for it.

G.C.

[Maximum12]

He's certainly a yahoo, & an embodiment of what's wrong with the game.

But the Dodgers made a call. Let's sign the guy that dragged us, kicking & screaming, into the playoffs last year.

If I could see the future & I said "Twins sign Bonds, get to ALCS. Don't sign him, finish third in Central." What would you do? As a baseball exec, not a fan.

Personally, I think a full season of Manny will have a terrible effect on LA & they're going to regret it by the end of the season. But that's just me.

[Jarrod32]

He makes the Dodgers the team to beat in the NL West. And if (when) the Dodgers with the West, Manny will be on the short list of NL MVP candidates.

[bassNspear]

The interview he had today was awesome. So laid back and ready to have a great time playing baseball!

Well the crow I ate was a little dry and not too much flavor

[blue_healer_guy]

The dodgers overpaid him because nobody else wanted him. Could have scored for alot less. Could you imagine, Span, Mauer, Manny, Morneau,Crede, Cuds, ohhhh forget it.
