You're correct. It is $77 million before he opts out after 2020. I would explore what it would take to get him here for the next three years. He would absolutely destroy this park and the AL East.

We ain't got it. Unless it's a 3 way deal with Manny as the centerpiece.

If you think he doesn't opt out. Barring injury, he's almost certain to opt out. 

I don't think it's certain, not with his injury history. And it's baseball, nothing is certain except he won't be worth the tail end of that contract.

I wouldn't want to risk getting stuck with the end of that contract. Besides I want to spend on pitching., We have a lot of OF.

I'd be onboard with that. Trade Manny now for three years of Stanton. Sign a good glove 3B. 

Who gets Manny. The Marlins wouldn't want him for one year at 17 M.

Makes you wonder why.  I know he had a reputation as being kind of a head case while he was here....but man....with as rare as top end pitching is in the game today....

To know him may not be to love him.

He publicaly dissed the Ft. Lauderdale facilities. I bet that didn't sit well with PA and of course there's that ol' TTTP.

I can definitely see teams being cautious with him, last year he definitely wasn't the same guy as he was in '15 and even '16.  The downward trend would keep me from offering a huge deal.  I dunno, maybe start at 4/75?  Definitely be interesting to see where he ends up and on what contract.

Times to the plate. Buck's a stickler. Jake sucks at that.
