But not for the reasons you think.
Giants should offer a similar deal with less guaranteed money but enough incentives to make the deal worth more than the Dodgers' offer. Not to sign him but to force the Dodgers to spend even more. Why not **** with the rivals? Sabean should **** with his old pal Colletti. Make the Dodgers spend and give more!! And on the very unlikely scenario that Manny accepts the offer, then say hello to the playoffs. Its a win/win situation....as long as we keep Manny happy."We love Manny Ramirez," owner Frank McCourt said, "And we want Manny back, but we feel we are negotiating against ourselves. When his agent finds those ‘serious offers’ from other clubs, we’ll be happy to re-start the negotiations."
