Manny, Nomar, Reportedly Both Close to be California Dreaming

In one of the longer, and in my opinion unnecessary, protracted MLB contract negotiations, Scott Boras has agreed to terms with the Dodgers on a two year $45 million contract for his client Manny Ramirez. The two sides spent much of this week disputing how much if any of the $45 million would be paid out as a deferred payment. Ramirez who was traded to the Dodgers last July at the trade deadline helped to lead the Dodgers to a playoff birth by driving in an average of one run per game.

In other news from fellow Red Sox alumni, Nomar Garciaparra is said to be very close to signing a one year deal with the Oakland Athletics. Garciaparra had said to be contemplating retirement but now it looks like he will suit up for at least one more season.
