Manny should have taken the 2 years, $50 million that the Dodgers offered at the beginning of the offseason...because right now he's gonna get lowballed big time. One GM even said he bets the Dodgers could offer 2 years, $30 million and still sign him because nobody else has that much left to spend.

The Mets' priority is getting a starter...hopefully Oliver Perez will be locked up by the weekend. If only there was some way to get Billy Wagner to defer some of the $14 million he will get next year for sitting around doing nothing, the Mets would have enough room to also sign Manny without going over the luxury tax threshold.
