It seems that the Manny saga is finally over. The L.A. Dodgers signed Manny to a 2 year deal worth $45 million. This is the same offer they offered Manny two days ago and two months ago but I guess him and his agent accepted it this time. Guess it's Manny being Manny. Will Ramirez even try this year or just wing it?

I'm not really a baseball fan but became one when Manny came to L.A. I think that he singlehandedly took the Dodgers to the playoffs. I came to Southern California 30 years ago and never left. I knew that once Manny experienced our perfect weather that he would ahve a hard time leaving us. I think that he floated it out there just to see what else surfaced. Manny has the star power that can fill a stadium and I think that he's worth more than what he accepted. Let's see what happens this season.

and if you were paying attention manny had that same offer in november guess he overvalued teams willing to pay him in the end the dodgers were the only team that really wanted him and i couldnt see them upping their offer since they were only bidding against themselves its hilarious that he ends up accepting the same offer he refused in november i think he was just trying to get out of having to participate in too much of spring training
