You know, I wish McCourt would just have the balls to say, "We're not going to sign Manny, so forget about it."
They could sign Manny today. Offer him a 3 year deal and he's yours. 3 years is not a long time to commit to a player of that caliber. He ain't that old. And you'd get a good price on him for those three years. He wants 4, he's not getting even nibbles, he'd accept a year less.
Anything else isn't a serious offer. 1 year deal? Really? Even at the high price, that's an offer that was never meant to be accepted. That was a, "See, fans, we're trying! Manny's just not playing ball with us!" PR move because they think the fans can't handle, "We have no real desire to bring him back." I'd rather they did that and seriously went after a free agent they actually want than play this game.
