Strong move.....I think not.
I just dont see how it hurts... They talked about his contract on ESPN today, its like under 2 million. Win/Win IMO

Wildcard? Who cares about the wild card...They have no chance at that.

This is a guy that has been on Waivers for how many years now? I don't disagree that it's an awful move, but it's move made because of desperation.
As opposed to signing Rios off the waiver wire last year, personally I thought that was a strong move.

I don't know why they wouldn't take a shot with him. They get very little production out of the DH spot and Manny even in decline has far more to offer than the current choices.

Dodgers are 5 back, and the Chisox are 3.5 games back of a team that never quits (before the playoffs.) I'm not sure Manny will o.k. it. Isn't it a 1 shot deal? They can't just keep dangling him on waivers. If the Chisox claim him, and he turns it down, then it's not easy to try it again.

...and Manny knows he is playing for a contract. The Sox will see the best Manny has to offer for 30 games.
