Question

Do the Dodgers have the option of keeping Manny Ramirez with the club option?20 million per year.

Answer 1

Why would they want that thing?

Answer 2

"As part of the trade, the club options were eliminated, meaning the mercurial slugger might be playing elsewhere next season."

Answer 3

As stated, the options were eliminated, but he has said that he would like to finish his career in LA.  We'll just have to wait and see...

Answer 4

Yea i heard the 20 mil options we're eliminated...Scott Boras thinks he's gonna get Manny,36 year old who's numbers are declining a 100 mil contract.

Answer 5

He showed that he is arrogant enough to make his own options. If he demands a trade, a team has to trade him, or else his performance could be half-hearted and there is little way of proving breach of contract.

Answer 6

No.  The option years were voided as part of the trade.  Manny is a free agent at the end of the year.

Answer 7

Manny is a free agent at the end of the year. The options were eliminated with the trade.

Manny is from Washington Heights (NY)....Is Steinbrenner's checkbook ready??

Answer 8

He would deserve that much if he was an all-around ball player. Cut it in half and he might deserve that for offense, but nothing for defense.

Answer 9

Well, they better make sure Manny wants them to, or else the arrogant prick will take 6 seconds to run to 1st base.
