The Dodgers offered the free-agent slugger a $25 million, one-year contract with a $20 million player option for 2010. The rejection is the fourth in the club's attempts to sign Ramirez.

"We love Manny Ramirez," Dodgers owner Frank McCourt said in a statement. "And we want Manny back, but we feel we are negotiating against ourselves. When his agent finds those 'serious offers' from other clubs, we'll be happy to restart the negotiations.

"Even with an economy that has substantially eroded since last November, out of respect for Manny and his talents, we actually improved our offer.

"So now, we start from scratch."

The Dodgers open the regular season April 6 at San Diego.

Ramirez hit .396 with 17 home runs and 53 RBIs in 53 games with the Dodgers last season while leading them to the NL West title after he was acquired from Boston at the July 31 trade deadline.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

na the phillies spanked them 4-1 in the nlcs. i was at all 3 games at dodger stadium. once the dodgers blew their 2 run lead they had in 7th or 8th inningin game 4 that stadium was quiet the rest of the series and game 5 tickets were going for real cheap on craigslist.

 

[cincoseisdos]

quickly?

 

[bigmike23]

im just take it as he wants no part of spring training

 

[Los Angeles]

some of the things that are being said in here are

manny and borass have came out and said he wants a 4yr+ $100M contract, and theyre not agreeing to anything till a team budges.

the thing is, why should the dodgers offer such a lengthy and heavily $$$ contract if the market isnt calling for it? why bid against themselves? yeah teamsare tryna lurk, but no one can match $25 yr, if someone can do it.

manny is smart, he knows the market in los angeles can pretty much pay the mccourt all his money back so manny wants to get paid.

you cant really knock his hustle, cause theres no one else you'd want a bat in their hands with the game on the line.

there's still plenty of the time to negotiate, both sides need to put their egos aside, negotiate like men and get this done. keep in mind this is the yearof baseball bargains (with the exception of the yankees overpaying for everyon and the giants jumping the gun on renteria). players like krod, hudson, dunn,abreu have gone at bargain prices - but with manny in his mind there shouldnt be a bargain, he wants $$$

[vctry20]

Doesn't he want 3-4 years?

 

[tmukg21]

if manny gets more than $50M, barack should hire scott boras to fix the economy

Quickly? I guess if quickly mean after sweeping the team with the most wins in the National League.

idk what hes thinking right now
"I'm one of the greatest hitters ever. I can play for at least five more years productively. I can take a team to the playoffs on myown."

Something along those lines.

That was in no way a jab at the Cubs. It was a jab at that guys' knowledge about what happened in baseball last year. Damn, people are alwaysso quick to be defensive about their teams

 

[cincoseisdos]

word, dude was overly defensive for no reason

it's last season, get over it.
