Now if I was a player I would take deferred money but the kicker in all of this is that the dodgers said there would be no interest. So yeah that is kind of crappy. Plus Boras and Manny said yes to the contract at first because they thought it was 45 mil guaranteed for 2 years but it ends up they may have been trying to screw him after all

This recent contract I've heard of the options format since it came out. The original 2 yr/$45 mil - I don't think was broken up into many options, maybe an option for a 3rd year but was mostly upfront. Now if I, Joe Spectator, had heard that it was broken up before the contract pitch was accepted then swiftly rejected, one would think that Scott Boras, agent of all agents, would read the damn fine print. What are you trying to sink a ship in this economy? Enjoy watching Opening Day from the couch, Maneulito, or start questioning your agent if you REALLY want to play baseball.
