Manny, Manny?

I find it very hard to believe that Manny Ramirez turned down an offer of $25 million to play for the Los Angeles Dodgers for ONE year! Surely his agent, Scott Boras has advised him that he can get more if he waits, but that seems like pie in the sky to me. He is great, but how many teams can afford that kind of payroll for the long haul?
