For players that do not have a Mariners uniform on...

So maybe we can let Cano wear a Yankees uniform at home?

I guess to jumpstart guys wanting to go to Seattle (no offense) that they have to over pay a tad. I dont think he is a bad player. But I dont think the Yankees are heartbroken someone else gave him the money.

No offense? LOL this is the life of a Mariner fan. The only success we had was home grown Griffey and a young Arod. Luck put together a pretty decent pitching staff and a risk on Randy Johnson. Ichiro never really did anything after the 116 win season and then it all blew up. Nobody seems to be able to hit in Safeco wearing a Mariners uniform. It's frustrating to say the least. I'm a freaking baseball coach and fan, and I could count on 1 hand how many Mariners games I have watched and BEEN to over the last 3 or 4 seasons. Honestly...

Montero is terrible. Not sure what they saw in him, not a MLB athlete...

cause you're getting him at a huge discount at the beginning of the deal and he has negotiating leverage too.

edit: huge is an overstatement.

Then he wouldn't be playing for your team.

im talking about from seattles perspective. float it public ....we are offering 5 years 200 million.

I'm sure there is some fine print in there that says:

"If Mariners continue to suck, Yankees will assume contract after year X and Mariners will pay 50% of remaining deal."
