Why Marlins backed off Manny deal
One high-level Red Sox official said he expected Manny Ramirez would end up with the Marlins, but the Marlins backed off Wednesday night and justified asking for an additional $2 million (on top of paying Ramirez's salary) to cover salaries of the compensatory draft picks Florida would get for losing Ramirez to free agency this winter. Plus, Florida's refusal to include outfielder Mike Stanton -- who leads his Single A league with 27 homers -- helped kill the deal.

The Marlins were clearly confused by being on the other side of the bargaining table.

Is that overpaid, underproducing idiots contract up this year??
JFKJR | 08/03/08, 10:07 AM
It is. So next year we'll only have to worry about six first basemen getting time instead of seven. Kind of like my beloved Bucs and their QBs ...
