 More Dodgers NewsDodgers LinksScott Boras is strongly hinting that he wants a six-year contract for Manny Ramirez at essentially max dollars. "All I will tell you is, name me the player in recent times that has had the kind of season [Ramirez] has had this season and postseason," Boras said yesterday during a conversation that lasted more than an hour. "Put that together with two [championship] rings on his fingers, and the history he has, and that he is two years younger than Bonds when [Bonds] was a free agent. Bonds signed a five-year contract [for $90 million after the 2001 season] at 38 [he turned 38 midway through the first year of the deal] and got paid until he was 42. "If Bonds gets five years at 38, what does Manny get at 36? If A-Rod Alex Rodriguez gets paid to 42 [on his 10-year deal with the Yankees New York Yankees ], why not Manny? He doesn't take a backseat to him." |
