Dodgers Still Playing “Rope A Dope” With Manny

After Manny Ramirez rejected a total of three offers from the Dodgers so far this offseason, team officials are continuing their pursuit of the slugger. According to various news sources Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti confirmed to the Associated Press that the Dodgers are very interested in striking a deal with Manny and agent Scott Boras.

Colletti was also very eager to express that no deadline for a contract agreement has been set, but those circumstances “could change in an instant”. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt has described Manny and agent Scott Boras as a challenging duo to work with.

The Dodgers have also expressed interest in outfielder Adam Dunn who currently has an offer from the Nationals and “intriguing interest” from the Dodgers as well.

    I think Manny has ONE last chance….a deadline WILL be set and one last FINALl offer will be made….if Manny rejects I expect the Dodgers to immediately make an offer to Adam Dunn and swipe him right off the Nats radar!
