+5 thumbs upThe Yankees don't need Manny- Nady is just fine in the field!!! The Yankees need PITCHING and that's what they will addrees this off-season! I see them making a big play for C.C. Sabathia!! Manny loves L.A. and Joe Torre and wil probably stay there for a while.

+3 thumbs upWith the way the Yankees are playing it would not surprise me if the went after him they will need to do something.  I think  he would go if he gets the right offer (he will go where the money is) if for no other reason than to taunt the Red Sox fans

+1 thumbs upI think that he'll sign with either the Yankees or the Mets, but I'm leaning toward the Mets.
I do believe that the vast majority of Yankee fans (and players?) really don't want him- but Hank Steinbrenner will make a big push to get him regardless of what Joe or Jane Q. Fan wants.

One way or another, he'll be in New York next summer.

+2 thumbs upIf Torre was with the Yankees still it would be much more likely to happen.  Torre and Manny are pretty tight. I dont think Manny would turn his back on Torre by "sleeping with his ex old lady".   Just something to think about!

+4 thumbs upManny could also be saying he wants to play for the Yankees because he thinks he's talking to the King of Jupiter.

Because Manny's agent is Scott Boras, where Manny plays next year will depend on who is willing to pay the most. Being a Dodger fan, I'm glad we were able to get him for practically nothing and I don't need to go over the positives he brings to the team, everyone has seen them.

Will he stay in L.A. next season? I say no. And I also say he won't be a Yankee and the reasons why are the same; neither team will spend the money he, er, his agent will be asking for, nor will they will be willing to take the chance that he will continue to play at the level he's played at over the last few seasons, his last few months with Boston not withstanding.

It will be interesting to see if a bidding war ensues and which teams engage in that war. Just like Manny, it will be entertaining to watch.

Cheers!!

+2 thumbs upBeing a Dodger fan, I wouldn't mind him staying in Los Angeles. I know he likes it here and has a great relationship with Joe Torre. But I don't think Frank McCourt will spend the money that Boras will be asking for and here's why; the Dodgers have been burned so many times when spending huge money for a player who ended up either on the permanent IR or who just stunk, the latest on that list being Andruw Jones.

The bitter taste of that deal is still to fresh to be repeated again with Manny.

I'm sure manny and boras will take a "slightly" smaller amount so he can retire with the team he came up with.  Especially after the Indians freed up all that money that they won't be paying CC.  Manny can take over for abreu in right and DH some.
