If there is any team for whom I think it makes sense to go "all-in" and risk some awful contracts, it's the Mariners. The past has shown that they can have a great, supportive fanbase, but their two next-door neighbors have taken away all the excitement and pub from them. They have a top-5 pitcher in the league and you don't want to waste him before something goes wrong. Plus, I know their owners can afford it. So I can understand the Cano & Cruz deals for them.

 

 

Seahawks. Who else? UW? Vancouver? Portland?

 

 

 

One thing that's a bit more puzzling is why they would trade Iwakuma? Maybe with Paxton and Walker coming quickly, they decided to save some money on their rotation and spread it out across other areas of the team. I guess it depends on who they're hoping to add if they deal him...plus, from a marketing side, they have the longest tradition (along with the Yankees and Dodgers) of utilizing Asian players to their benefit.

Angels not expected to tender Gordon Beckham a contract.

I wonder if this move impacts the Sox compensation in any way. Seems like a ridiculous amount of time to complete the trade.

 

At this point, I wonder if we just got cash, or something we haven't heard about yet.

The Sounders average over 40,000 fans per game

Not surprisingly, Ervin Santana looking for as long of a deal as possible: Five years.

 

 

In other news, the Orioles official admit to "regret" in the FA courtship and signing of Ubaldo Jimenez.
