Scott Boras is ready to sit down and negotiate with the Dodgers today. This comes a day after Manny Ramiriez rejected the Dodgers one-year, $25 million deal, and after the Mets upper management made it clear they would make no more big moves.
I think Boras was holding out for Mets management to cave under public pressure, but now that it’s been made clear it won’t happen, L.A. is likely Manny’s best option. He’ll probably sign for a little more than the original two-year, $45 million deal.
