Any chance they can get Mark Bellhorn, Doug Mientwhothefuckcares, Orlando Cabrera, and Jason Varitek's corpse to have a Boston reunion?

Same old story: the Dodgers paying one of its former players a lot more than his current team is. But this just kills me.

There is a ton of deferred money in this contract, and the total payout of Manny's salary will be as follows (much thanks to Tony Jackson):
2009: $7,267,760 ($10m base, less suspension)
2010: $7,267,760 ($10m deferred from 2009, less suspension)
2011: $7,677,596 ($5m deferred from 2009, less suspension, plus $5m deferred from 2010, less CWS portion)
2012: $8,087,432 (deferred from 2010, less CWS portion)
2013: $4,043,716 (deferred from 2010, less CWS portion)

Hmmm, well we've paid a heck of a lot more for people to stink or play for someone else than we are spending on Manny. So, far the players seem pleased, course what else are they going to say right?
