How about Kazmir 2 for 22!!!!!!!

Do I really need to explain the difference between overpaying for 2 years and overpaying for 10 years?

As for Jim Johnson, it is a 1 year commitment to him. The other option is Balfour, which requires giving him more than a 1 year deal.

What a terrible deal for the Mariners. As an A's fan, I like this deal.

$240mm is supposedly more than the combined payroll for the M's last 8 seasons.

Just checked. No way that's right. Payroll was $72mm last year.

I wouldn't have made the Cano deal, but I would definitely make that trade for Price. baseball-reference says 2016 is the earliest free agency year for him (Price), hell ya I take him even if it means for only two years (it's not like they're going to win otherwise).

I'd rather have Walker for the next 10 than Price for 2. Or better yet, Price would cost near $30mm over the next two, I'd much rather have Walker + free agent you could land for difference in their contracts (which is about $14.5mm per year).

No fucking clue what the M's are doing. Too many years of losing and missing out on free agents has made them way too desperate. There are also rumors they've discussed swapping their top pitching prospect (Taijuan Walker) and one of their young middle infielders (Franklin or Miller) for David Price. Price is obviously damn good, and Felix/Price/Ikawuma is a hell of a 1-2-3, but that's a steep price to pay.

Cano isn't even the kind of player that people come out to watch. Why not spend that 24 million a year on 3 solid guys at 8 million a year.

The M's are batshit crazy.

I wish the Mariners' front office would fire itself.

Yep, they're crazy. Ten years? Pujols/ARod money? Damn.

Dumb. So dumb.
