He's finally signed, 2 years $45m. That was pretty quick considering they were starting from scratch.
This makes the Dodgers the team to beat in the NL West. Don't put too much stock into that, as it means they will win 85 games basically, not a tough division.
Manny wanted $100 and got $45. Bobby Abreu wanted $45m and got $5m. It really makes Manny seem like he doesn't care about winning but just about money and comfort. Anyone who had their doubts about Manny when he more or less quit on the Red Sox clearly weren't convinced otherwise as they watched him holdout for more years and dollars in this economy.
Manny should be a good hitter on LA, but it will be very hard for him to earn this money.
