[Vision2020] Mariners Hot Stove Stuff

[Tim Lohrmann]

   There seemed to be a lot of back and forth on that deal. Haven't seen anything new on it today, but benmaller.com reported the following yesterday:

"The ongoing saga of the Baltimore Orioles' dalliance with free agent first baseman Richie Sexson -- in which the Orioles appeared to have been jilted once, then asked to make up -- took one more wild plot twist yesterday, with the revelation that Sexson has already secretly taken a physical examination for the Seattle Mariners. That information, which made its way to the Orioles' offices yesterday, explains the reports of a deal being struck between Sexson and the Mariners that began to circulate two days earlier. However, Sexson's agent was still negotiating with the Orioles last night, leading the Orioles to believe that Sexson's tentative deal with the Mariners is on hold -- perhaps because the Mariners saw something they did not like. Sexson's 2004 season ended on June 4 with surgery for a torn labrum in his left shoulder, which he injured on a checked swing in April. "

Just hope the M's are careful, that's an awful lot of cash for a bum shouldered slugger.
 I still wish they'd save up and make an all out run for Carlos Beltran. He'd the guy that would make the biggest long-term impact IMHO.
 
And what about another starter? They've already missed out on Pavano.
At least they've got Dan Wilson on board to call the games for another year.

The Baltimore Sun reports that the Mariners are just about to sign 6 foot 8 
inch power hitting first baseman Richie Sexson to a 4 year, 48 million 
dollar deal. Just thought I'd pass that on to the Mariner fans among us. 
Now the deal will fall apart.
