Alaska executive clarifies: We still want Vic Manuel, we offered a two-year deal
Alaska team governor Richard Dickie Bachmann reiterated Vic Manuel s value to the team amid a news report that the veteran forward wants out of the Aces, while also denying that they only offered him a one-year deal.
Responding to a news article that came out of spin.ph on Friday afternoon, Bachman explained they offered Manuel a two-year maximum deal.
The proposed new deal, though, includes a performance clause , which if Manuel can comply with during the season-opening All-Filipino Cup that begins this April, then he automatically secures the second-year maximum deal.
