Bowden: Manny's agent proposed a long-term deal to the O's before the season started

[BradyBunch]

I'll be the first eat crow when the Orioles sign a guy for 350 million.

Orioles aren't gonna sign him for 350m but Orioles will sign him and get 3 to 4 years post arb for around 200m.

[Orioles0615]

I say if Manny wants 30 to 35 million a year don't let the door hit him on the way out. Let him play the next 2 years and see ya.

No if you're not going to sign him you need to trade him and pillage some other team

I really don't see Manny agreeing to that deal unless the Orioles give him an opt-out after four years or so. Actually I don't see Manny agreeing to any deal unless the Orioles give him an opt-out. It would make the most financial sense for him to re-sign a lucrative deal with an opt-out and then hit free agency before his age 30 season.

I'm thinking something closer to 2/20 with an option for 2019. No way they are getting a big payday out of his performance, if that was going to happen it would have last offseason.

I'm thinking three 33.

Manny has 2 years of arb left which makes him 26. 2 years plus 3 or 4 years would put him at age 29 or 30. So no opt out needed.

I don't see point of trading him unless we have a lousy sea season in his walk year. Obviously if some team is willing to give up a lot for one year of Manny he would be valuable to keep for next two years.

Manny would accept a 6 year 200 million dollar offer?

He'll want - and probably get - an opt out or 2 from a TEN year deal; not a 6 year deal. 10/350 is probably the most commonly speculated numbers for Manny's next deal.

He could. $33m a year and playing with Schoop.

Or a 5 or 6 year deal and still get a massive 10 year deal.

[backwardsk]

Manny would accept a 6 year 200 million dollar offer?

I don't see why he won't. That's over $40 per year for 4 FA years.

[El Gordo]

Buy out Manny's 2 arb years for 30 M and 3FA years at 120 M that's more than he can expect to make the next 5 years.

[weams]

It would actually be 43 plus per year for the extension. Because of the two arbs included.

[weams]

Right. But if he waits, he can expect another 150 million for his career.

If they can't sign Manny and the Orioles trade him then I hope they get a big package back.I know this won't happen but get back a Trea Turner,Anthony Rendon and Joe Ross type.Manny and a prospect for them.Then you have a SS to replace Hardy, third baseman for Manny and another controllable pitcher.I know this trade won't happen but if they can do something like it.Three controllable pitchers and a young SS.Then try to extend Schoop.You would then have Davis,Schoop,Turner and Rendon for at least three or four years. Just need to work on the outfield. Be nice if the Orioles can develop some outfielders.
