Say It Ain't So, Manny!

[scOtt]

And even JC we'd have to lock up by the time he was 23...

:wedge:

[scOtt]

He's open to a long term deal, 10 years at 150M will get it done after next season. That will take away 6 years of FA. Step up Orioles and show we're in the game.

And I wanted to ask, you read that somewhere? I haven't seen a word about Manny being interested or not.

[BillySmith]

There is just no way we are going to be able to sign Manny long term. He's already in super-stud mode.

Ugh, I am so depressed with the current state of the Orioles. How we got Jones for $80M I will never know.

Is anyone confident we can sign any of Manny, Davis, Wieters, or Tillman (who's the last starting pitcher we extended, honestly)? Is there any way Manny doesn't end up switching to Jay Z or Boras?

It don't matter man. Every team faces the same situation. With the huge money teams out there, it's always going to be messed up. This is my favorite sport, but it's sad where it is right now. Teams like us have to squeeze every dollar and make the greatest trades. Meanwhile, six or eight franchises can throw money around without repercussion.

I wouldn't go 10 years on Jesus Christ himself. But they do need to step up.

And think about it... he's still well less than a million this year. 1.5 next, 3 next, 7 next. Just guesses. You don't have to pay him 10/150. 7 or 8/80 is more money than he ever dreamed of. And guaranteed if he signs.

Are you trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

I think if the O's don't continue to not do anything to improve this team while Manny is here I can see him moving on and not wanting to play here. I think the O's sign manny longterm. I think manny and trout stay. I personally don't see bryce harper long term. Manny seems like one of those Baltimore athletes that stay with a team for his entire career Cal Ripken etc. We shall see.

Just glanced at the hangout and saw the thread and thought uh oh! Manny's rehab must be in trouble. That thread title sucks! Ha.

Two points:

1. scOtt needs a BIGGER avatar

2. Miami roles deep

I read it last season but I don't remember where.

[El Gordo]

If I were Manny I wouldn't sign an extension with this team.

Yes it is sad that it has come to this.

[crowmst3k!]

If there's any truth to the 10yr/150mil speculation, I'd offer him that contract in a second.

What a deal that would be!

[ExileAngelos]

What about the possibility of the unspeakable tragedy that Angelos is no longer with us when Manny hits the free agent market?

[weams]

If I were Manny I wouldn't sign an extension with this team.

Sorry that you are so cavalier with your future (as Manny) that you would not weigh the pros and cons of an actual offer.

Bleacher Report picked it up last night.

Oz does remind us that the link between all three, other than baseball, is Miami. Machado and Rodriguez are both from there and Alonso played at the University of Miami.

So what does this all mean for you, Joe Q. Baseball Fan? Little.
