The AP obtained details on Manny Ramirez’s new contract with the Dodgers. Due to significant deferred money, the present-day value of his ’09 salary drops to about $18.4MM.
The AP story adds that Manny’s decision about 2010 is due on the fifth day after the World Series ends or November 10th, whichever is later. ESPN’s Jayson Stark does some more number-crunching at his blog.
