As a Dodger, he hasn't acted in the least like an egomaniac. And he's had every opportunity to do so. From boosting them to their best season in 2 decades, to the extended contract negotiations, to this embarrassing suspension, he's had ample chance to be anything but the gracious business-like player he's been.
Maybe it's just a matter of time, but even during his supposed tantrum in Boston, I didn't really see anything egregiously selfish or egomaniacle from him. The whole thing smelled more of Scott Boras's ego than Manny's.
