News: Manuel yet to Sign, Bobby V on Horizon
According to the New York Post, the Mets have offered Jerry Manuel a two-year contract worth roughly $2 million, ‘but he has yet to sign it.’
In Newsday, David Lennon reports that the two-year offer is actually worth $1.5 million, ‘but he has yet to accept the deal.’
…yikes, because, the buzz in new york suggests that manuel is seeking at least $2 million per season, yet the Mets are only offering roughly half of that, plus i would have think he wants more than two years – since any other experienced manager, who the team would turn to, would want the same…and i can’t say that i blame him…
Also in Newsday, Johnette Howard explains why the Mets cannot afford to lose Manuel, while at Bugs & Cranks, Brad Bortone lists 10 reasons why Manuel will leave.
According to Lennon, “If negotiations do fall through, one of the names that could surface again is Bobby Valentine.”
