Would Manny/Boras Opt For One-Year Deal?

Courtesy Yankees 'N More The longer this Manny Ramirez thing drags without any sign of interested teams beyond the Los Angeles Dodgers, the more we start wondering if Scott Boras and Manny might opt to do a one-year deal. Follow me on this one. It is clear at this point that the market for free agents, thanks in large part to the economy, is as bad as it has been in recent memory. Productive pros like Bobby Abreu are being talked about in terms like $8 million a year. Sure, that sounds great to you and me. But when you're Abreu, coming off another in a long line of productive years, and you're used to making double that, it kinda sucks. Of course, in Manny's case, he is bucking the economy and his own Manny-being-Manny actions, which led to his banishment from Boston. The market in general is dead, and especially for Manny Ramirez. So if Boras can't even get two teams interested in Ramirez, why not take a one-year deal for max money with, perhaps, a player option for a second year?  ... (link)
