Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle addresses Jayson Stark’s article on the Giants and Manny Ramirez from yesterday.
Schulman says the fact that the Giants haven’t made a formal offer for Manny doesn’t mean much. The two sides have discussed parameters. Schulman doesn’t believe the Giants are firmly limited to a payroll below $100MM.
Schulman says the Giants’ talks with Manny are "very much alive," yet signing him remains a long shot.
