I have never been a huge Manny fan because of his attitude. His attitude has always rubbed me the wrong way. The Orioles are better off without Manny if you ask me.

I agree.  I am glad the Manny show is over.  The team was by far the worst in baseball with Manny on the team last year.  And the Dodger's didn't try to sign him either.  I think at some point he needs to just grow up.

I loved his game but I do not miss the person.

In my opinion the Rockies did better by locking up Nolan compared to the Padres signing Manny. Nolan seems to have alot less baggage.

I will never boo Manny, but I won’t miss him. I miss Adam, Kakes, Mclouth, Joseph, Cruz, I even and especially miss Caleb.

but not Manny.

Im not sure the Dodgers had ever planned on signing him. They are close to the luxury cap as it is now.

He was a rental with a hope he pushed them over the top for the WS trophy.

I dont think the rest of the sports world agree, the last poll, I saw on that, the majority was against it.

The Rockies would not have invested all that money into Nolan if he had Manny's attitude. Do I need to say more?

I’m glad it’s over too and Manny is honestly irrelevant to me anymore as an Orioles fan. However the immature side of me hopes Manny never wins a ring, MVP or another gold glove award for all I care. 

Hes set for like with the contract that he’s signed. So all the other stuff I’ll root against him. When he comes to OPACY I won’t boo but I also Won’t be giving him a standing ovation. Announce the hitter and get the AB going.

Agree, when people move on they just need to be quiet.  Manny should be thankful the O's never showed him love as he says.  He would not have a $300 contract on a team with a loaded farm system.  He would have a lesser contract on a team coming off of 47 wins and in complete rebuild mode with a mediocre at best farm system.

What if they had signed him 2 years ago, and made a couple of other different moves. Then the 47 win season might not have happen, heck, they might have even hit the playoffs.

May surprise a few people here by saying I think Manny kind of has a point here.

It was reported many times over that after like..........2014 or 2015 the Orioles never really contacted him or his agent.............EVER regarding an extension.

So if I'm clearly the best player on a team....... and the team doesn't make even a HALF-hearted attempt to extend me in my last 3 or 4 years there..........what am I supposed to think?   Clearly they don't really want me around long term.

And on the other side.........yeah the Orioles have a decent reason to not want to offer him a megadeal at this point.......but I think a lot of us wish we had done more to lock him up when it could have been done for far less.

We had him on the team last season and were the worst team in baseball by far.  It was a good move not to re-sign him. Now we have Diaz and Kremer and are saving $30 million a year.  I know the organization isn't going to spend that $30 million but if they did Diaz + Kremer plus free agents worth $30 million should be superior to Machado.

He was lame duck and everybody knew it.

I think it shows Manny may have preferred signing in Baltimore for the same deal if he could, but the offer was never there. Then again, I doubt he would be interested this offseason with the team coming off the season they just did.

So what does that have to do with anything I posted?
