Manny Ramirez finally re-signed with the Dodgers after four months of haggling over a price that never changed. Essentially, Scott Boras bought his client a couple of extra weeks of vacation but nothing else. He didn't get him anymore money. He didn't get him extra years. He didn't get him incentive clauses. In fact, as a pre-requisite to the contract the Dodgers are forcing Manny to make a $1 million donation to their charitable organization. He also has to show up for the groundbreaking on some youth league fields. I have full confidence that Manny would have done that anyway, seeing as he's essentially 12 years old, but still. I hope he at least got a haircut waiver from Joe Torre.
All that being said, if I was a player, I would hire Scott Boras in an instant.
I hate Scott Boras
