According to MLB.com, Manny Ramirez is “optimistic” that he will soon get a four-year contract thrown his way.

As far as we can tell, there are no signs that any kind of long-term deal is landing in Ramirez's lap any time soon. In fact, according to reports, Manny has only been hit with offers from the Dodgers this offseason, which was around $25 million for one-year.

Anyone heard different? Is Drew Rosenhaus Manny's agent :) ?

Manny is 36 and will be 37 soon. He is dreaming and should take that 25 mill and run!

Well, while I definitely will not overpay, I'm taking a chance on him this given where he is going to fall. Well worth the  risk if the risk is small. Great topic and with Manny nothing is certain.

Yep, but i still like him this year because people are so down on him. What players do you consider to be right around his value if lets say i wanted to trade for Manny low?

I consider Jermaine Dye, Mags, McLouth, Ortiz around his value.

As a Red Sox fan, I can't say there is any love lost for the guy based on how he shot his way out of town last season.  Rosehaus had a lot to do with that, but I think the way it went down left a lot of teams afraid to invest in him – and honestly, how many teams can really afford to put up 20-25 million for a single player anyway?  Being a horrible outfeilder, the AL makes the most sense from a pure baseball persepective, but I don't see a fit anywhere in the AL at this point.  Should be interesting to see what happens.

I like Ortiz for some reason but not Manny. Manny is getting too old. Im drafting Ortiz this year in most leagues. He is good value this year.

Great offense, one of THE best I've ever seen – but what an adventure he is in the outfield.  He'll produce, no matter where he goes, it's just what he does.

Do you guys think he will get more than 2 years on the contract?
