Spark up the Manny rumors

The Dodgers offered Manny Ramirez a two-year, $45 million deal with an option to opt out after one year if he believes he can find another deal. Apparently, that wasn't good enough for Manny, as he rejected the offer last night.

That means I'm preparing to read someone's crazy idea that the Mets can still sign him -- that the team should offer $50 million to him, or something absurd like that.

I just don't want to hear it. I don't think Manny will ever be happy.

Jeremy made a prediction last night, before we learned about the deal being turned down, that Manny will not be on a team by opening day. I scoffed at him, but now he might be right.
