In my opinion Dipoto got more than out of Bruce than anyone really expected. Kelenic and Dunn are the prospects that taking on Bruce helped us get... Now we get the salary relief it was never expected we would receive and some lower prospect. That's gravy buddy. Servais sucks but Dipotos on fire th...

They had benched Beckham, he comes back with a hot bat. Now there's a guy that should have gained some trade value since he came on board. Didn't Dipoto say just about that when he spun Marty Montgomery or whatever that bums name was for this slugging Vogelbach kid? That Monty had come in and built...

So what's Dipoto going to do with all the cash savings? Probably make another Albert Pujols type of signing. 10 years $300 million. What he should have done was take a better or more prospects and pay the remaining amount of Bruce's contract. You can't build a winner in a mid-sized market paying big...

Mariners have given up 1st inning runs in 7 of their last 11 games. Constantly playing from behind.

This has one-page thread written all over it.

Add in his large salary... ? Then just offer to pay it. Beats having to pay Big-market dollars for free agents.

Personally, i don't give a fug about who pays off Bruce's remaining salary. Jerry had better not trade him without getting some young baseball talent in return. Isn't that what this is all about, trying to leverage these aging vets with something left in the tank for the chance at having young talen...

So why does it make sense to rank "athletes" as though it was a position on a football team? Just rank the player at whatever positions they played in high school.

Something had to give. And frankly Dipoto getting anyone taking on that massive remaining contract, is already a genius!!! He's basically unloaded Cano's albatross contract for Kelenic and change! What is the connection between Bruce's contract and the Cano trade? I thought they were separate deals...

Why bother making a move that wouldn't make the team better, or even one that makes it only slightly better? 1. They don't want to win more games at this time. 2. The "shishkaberry & garlic fry" crowd that forms their fan base doesn't care if they win games 3. The savvy baseball fans aren't going to...
