Editor's Note: This Changes Everything

We just found out that the major fork in the road for Manny Ramirez was the deferring of every contract offer. This revelation changes the entire opinion for what was going on between the two sides. The Dodgers have been toying with Ramirez, disrespecting him with salaries spread out over years. Many people, including myself, feel duped by what Frank McCourt and Ned Colletti did, especially for never saying the previous contracts were deferred. Greed seemed to be the only thing preventing an agreement between the two sides, but that ended up being false. The true offer would actually get the job done, according to Scott Boras. Boras has made an incredible concession. The Dodgers won. But they keep pushing their luck, forcing Manny to take $10 million this season and still call it a fair deal. If Colletti and McCourt have any sensibility, they must make the offer they were believed to have made and bring Manny back.
