Why did the Marlins pull out of the Manny sweepstakes?
The Marlins wanted too much. Basically they wanted Manny plus 7 mil, plus 2 prospects to help cover the cost for Manny's contract. All the Red Sox would get in return is Jason Bay from the Pirates. Sox didn't think that was a fair deal and pulled back...This is what I heard on ESPN today
Reply:the marlins arent good enough to be able to deal with manny..he's a little too much of a distraction to play for a team that still is building
Reply:I'm sure Manny equals their whole payroll. It made no sense for them to get him when Boston refused to pay most of his salary.
Reply:The Marlins didn't pull out, the Red Sox did. The Marlins were asking for more than the Red Sox wanted to give up.
