So now Boras comes back with a "counteroffer." Boras suggests 2 years at 45M with *some* of the money deferred.....which is basically what the Dodgers were suggesting. Two days ago, deferred money was not acceptable. Now all of a sudden it is?

I love that McCourt basically said "screw off" to Boras and his new proposal. The Dodgers will now sit back and see which other teams surface to sign Manny. Once these new teams surface, then the Dodgers can get involved and see what the dollar amounts really are.
Obviously, now that we are more than a week into training camp, I can't imagine too many teams showing up with a free $23M or more on their books, ready to spend it. I almost hope nobody signs him this year. Will be a HUGE black eye to Boras and a near death blow to Manny's attempt to rehab his image. I didn't think it would be possible for him to ruin his image more than when he was in Boston.....but he is inching towards that here.
