Manny, oh Manny, I can't believe he turned down a $25 million contract. If it's because he wanted a multi-year deal, that's one thing (I would've offered two years), but that base salary is as high as he could get. I don't know how the two sides didn't get a 2yr/$44 million deal done.
Anywho, I highly doubt we offer him $25 million (and I'm not saying that as an insult to the Lerners). I'd be shocked if anyone gives him anything close to that initial offer.
Just Manny Being Manny.
