Dodgers website tells a slightly different version of the story above, they're supposedly going to be meeting again today.

Why is the Dodgers website covering golf?

Visiting the Dodgers website I ran across this:

The Next 50 Plan

It looks like there are some major updates coming for the park.

And in that same time span, the Nationals plan on winning 100 games.

Yup, I like what I've seen of the plans.

It'll be bizarre to see a parking structure there.

It will be interesting to see if they can make it into a year round destination with this City Walk like project. Being able to bring in the $$$ during the off season would be a real plus for the organization.

Well, the Dodgers are definitely approaching this from the assumption (as seems the be the case, despite Boras' claims otherwise) that they're the only ones bidding.

On the surface, both sides are talking about the same deal - 2 years, $45 million , with the Manny able to opt out of the 2nd year.

The disagreement is that Boras/Manny wants the $45 million to be paid in full in those 2 years. The Dodgers offer has a chunk of it being deferred, interest free, across 5 years.
