Wow. I have to say, I don't understand that decision. JR, you say "buhbye, Manny", but who is really going to take him? His contract is so huge that it's highly probable that nobody's going to be willing to grab him off waivers. So he'll probably still be with the Sox on Saturday, and then what have you really done? All you've done is make him even more moody and less likely to want to play hard. I'm stumped. I'm an ardent Manny-supporter, and have been mocked for it. But I really don't get what Theo hopes to accomplish with this move.
Exactly! At $20M a year, even George isn't dumb enough to claim him. I had the same thoughts as you when I read the article. I was mystified why they they would do that.There's no upside to the move that I can think of.


PS- 14 pages and still rolling!
