PHOENIX -- Whether Manny Ramirez has rejected yet another offer from the Los Angeles Dodgers depends on whom you ask.
The Dodgers announced Thursday night the star outfielder's agent, Scott Boras, had declined a one-year, $25 million contract with a $20 million player option for 2010. It was the club's fourth offer to Ramirez this offseason.
But Boras said he did not reject the Dodgers' offer, according to the Los Angeles Times. "They asked me to respond to them and I gave them a counterproposal within the framework of the structure we had agreed upon," Boras said.
At any rate, Ramirez remains unsigned.
"We want Manny back, but we feel we are negotiating against ourselves," Dodgers owner Frank McCourt said in a statement. "When his agent finds those 'serious offers' from other clubs, we'll be happy to restart the negotiations."
