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 won't get opt outs or 350 million from us. So if that is what he is looking for he will have look elsewhere.

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.

Why would you do that? You would be paying more than 40 million a year for 3 years. Sometimes it is Ok to just let a guy leave. Compete next two years and then rebuild.

I agree...these numbers I'm reading are insane.

The Angels are a good example of why paying one player all that money. Remove Trout from their team and they would be no worse off. ust that money on 4'good players instead and maybe they are competive.

$16 million this year and $20 million next year has not caused the Angels to not be able to field a team because of Trouts contract. Albert Pujols $25 & $26 along with Josh Hamilton at $26.5 & $26.5 have more to do with the inability to put more dollars into viable assets (Players).

Yes the Angels issue is they gave ridiculous contracts to players past their prime. We have a chance to lock up one of the top 5 players in the game for the duration of his PRIME. If there's any player you give a huge contract to its Manny.

Wilson and Weaver as well.

$40 million a year though?? Sorry, but no thanks. I don't disagree on Manny being one of the best but one man does not win a championship.

      Snell vs Burnes

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I also went with Burnes because of his better durability. Since 2019 Snell has pitched more then 128 innings in a season one time (180 innings in 2023). While Burnes has pitched over 167 inning or more every season since becoming a full time starter in 2021. Burnes is also two years younger so in theory while a six year contract is riskier it would end at the same age as Snell on a four year deal. I'd be happy with either one, but my preference in Burnes.

      Adding that I would go for Roki over either of them.

      I'd go for Snell. He has true Cy Young stuff. Burnes is really good but his K rate keeps dropping and the years scare me. The box score for his playoff start was solid but he actually gave up a lot of hard contact. I just don't trust him enough to commit all those years and dollars.

      I go Burnes because to me the higher floor is very important with this sort of deal. I feel like Snell's skillset is more on a razor's edge-- if you didn't like how Burnes pitched in August, Snell is almost certainly more prone to stretches of poor performance like that. Even if he is more dominant at other times to balance it out. Plus, the extra length of Burnes' deal is offset a bit by being 2 years younger.

      Snell is injury prone and Burnes is a tough workhorse.

      Didn't see the video? The ball went maybe 15 feet before it bounced, it was rolling by the dugout.  It was nothing and the Dodgers look soft. Was he supposed to let the discarded ball stay on the field?

      Rojas pulled from the bases in the 3rd inning after he couldn't manage 2nd to home on a Mookie single (and Ohtani couldn't 1st to 3rd behind him) as the Dodgers try to dig out of 6-1.    Rojas' limited mobility hurt the Dodgers defense on a Bogaerts ground ball where Merrill was too quick going first to second, and Rojas ended up getting no outs on a routine ground ball. Manny with a cagey zigzag baserunning move during the Padres 6-run inning off Buehler, getting into Freeman's throwing lane to put Buehler into the jam. Teoscar grand slam brings it back to 6-5 in the 3rd inning...get your popcorn ready.
