BY SCOTT LAUBERLAS VEGAS -- Deadline for The Paper is creeping up, but Ruben Amaro Jr. just let us know (so, we'll let you know) that Charlie Manuel has received a contract extension. The Phillies picked up Manuel's 2010 option and tacked on an extra season. So, now, Manuel is under contract to lead the Phillies through 2011. He'll make $1.5 million in 2009, $1.7 million in 2010, and is expected to make more than $2 million in 2011. Manuel has a 354-294 record in four seasons with the Phillies.
We've spent most of the day monitoring the Jake Peavy trade situation, which may have expanded to four teams. It sounds like the Phillies are poised to make some sort of a move, just waiting for a "yes" from one or more of the teams that they've been talking to.
Stay tuned.
