This move most likely makes them a playoff team though.

Teams are locking up their young talent very early on, so you're seeing a lack of power on the open market.

Not a big fan of the signing, but they don't have much of a choice. The pitching is playoff ready and they need power in the order badly.

Good point...it certainly fits their needs, and no doubt they'd pay a premium for it, but this seems high in both years and dollars. Or the much more likely scenario that I just haven't adjusted my perception to the reality of situation (ie need for/lack of power available).

I actually thought he was going to get a little more.

Actually surprised it wasn't more money.

The mariners are spending cash and trying to make some serious moves to win. Love it!
