What is the Most $$ the O's SHOULD Offer Manny?

[24fps]

10/300 extension this upcoming off season with op-out if necessary or trade him before OD 2018 if he says no.  Check the market if he hits FA after 2018 without holding breath.

And you say good bye. As good as Trout has been he still has zero rings. Stanton was at one time the highest paid and zero rings. Kershaw...the same. 

I don't want to take anything away from Manny but it takes more than one guy in baseball. 

Back in track though, I would offer 10 at 25 million, with incentives of 2.5 million per MVP, and a lesser amount for GG's. After they shoot you down I would move him as soon as possible this off season.

I don't think he will be open to any offer now.  Too late.  If I am Manny, there is no way I am not going to free agency at this point.  Really, why should he not? The Orioles should have done that kind of offer last winter, maybe, but I think the window was even narrow at that point.   We could have extended him big time at a bargain cost after the second knee surgery, but had no guts.  

So, trade him, but we are going to get a lot less in return this winter than we would have gotten last winter that's for sure.

I agree with your assessment. I'm at a point in my mind where he will be leaving after next season. I have enjoyed his time in Baltimore though.

At 10/$350mm I'm in.   At 10/$400mm I'm out.     At 10/$375 I'm choking on what to do.

I think you start with how much you think he will be worth in production  over 10 years,. I think an average of 5 W per is reasonable assuming health, so 400 M and it could quite possibly be higher. So I would offer 10 years AAV of 37 M with an opt out at 5 years, 7 M per year deferred. It would be back loaded so he makes more AAV after the 5th year.

I'm in all the way up to 10/375. I think an opt out after 5 years would be a win/win for both parties.

Peter to Manny..."You are the son I always wanted.  How do you feel about owning the Os after you finish playing?"  lol.
