Manny to the METS (probably), but honestly - Is anyone else really going to give MANNY in his MID 30s a long term deal?

The answer to the question that is way too long in the title - is yes. It may not seem like right with the Wilpons and Omar Minaya seeming a bit uninterested, but it doesn't mean (what with Manny's rejection of a one year, $25 million offer), that he wants to be in New York. The Dodgers were a better team with Manny, and it's something they need to pursue. But for all intensive purposes, I called this.

Not really.

But the Yanks had a big offseason (and don't get me wrong so did the Mets, fixing their bullpen woes (wo)) and the Mets want to be the best team in New York (note* I did not say league, though being the best in New York in '09 is probably the best team in baseball).
