The Rocky Mountain News reports that "agent Scott Boras has let it be known through his media outlets that the expectation is for at least five years and $85 million in a deal for" Manny Ramirez.

 

A five-year contract would involve committing to Ramirez through his age-41 season, so that's going to be a very tough sell. Something along the lines of three years and $50 million seems more likely.

 

Hes got to be out of his mind. Who the hell wants to end up paying that much for a 45 year old in a few years. And we all know what happens when Manny decides hes not happy. Say he decides hes not happy a few years into the deal, and the unlucky team has the task of moving that contract for a guy in his mid 40's.
