As a Mariner fan it's hard to get worked up over A-Rod going to the Yankees. I would have respected him more if he had done that in the first place when he left Seattle. He always said he wanted to play for a contender, and it was never a secret he wanted to play for a big media market to feed...

That loud sigh of relief you hear is from Mariner fans who are now glad the Yankees blocked the trade of Freddy Garcia for Aaron Boone. Today Kaz Sasaki comes to Seattle "for the last time" to sign the paperwork to end his contract. 48 hours from now we'll have $9.5 million to spend. Some...

Bill Bavasi, the M's new GM said they wouldn't go after anybody until after the Saski retirement was a done deal. It might take two weeks.

I'll be sorry to see Kaz go, but the M's sure can use the extra $9.5 million. The MLPBA (Union) said this morning they weren't going to get in the way. The money should be made available to the M's pretty quick. (It's too bad all this didn't happen a couple weeks ago. Maybe we would have gone...

The M's are a little better, I think, than last year but the A's and Angels went out and got a lot better. There's talk that the new GM, Bill Bavasi, isn't allowed to make any decisions. The owners call the shots and they know nothing about baseball, just money.

I agree Ross. I'll miss Cammie's defense and his occasional spectacular days at the plate, but I won't miss his record setting strikeouts and low .200 average. I think Winn will surprise people in center and I think with Ibanez, being an everyday player rather than the occasional player he was...

Seattle fans are really pissed that ownership didn't seriously go after any big name free agents. Even more so now that the Angels have signed Guerrero, after already signing Escobar and Colon. Our perception is that the owners (ie Nintendo) think that as long as they compete through August and...

I think the only reason Clemens is pitching in Houston is Andy Pettite. I think if Pettite stayed a Yankee, Roger would have stayed retired.

The Mariners made some decent but small off season moves but once again we wouldn't compete for the big free agents like Guerrero or Tejada (we totally low balled him).

Mariners fans would warmly welcome Ken Griffey Jr. back to Seattle in a second, whether we traded for him or even if he only came back on another team. We acknowledge he played a major part in keeping baseball in Seattle. We weren't happy that he left, but he was up front about his reasons why...

I cannot for the life of me figure out what the Mariners are thinking with the Guillen for Vizquel deal (which thankfully did not go through). I wonder if our new GM is still on the Angels payroll.

He would have a better chance in Seattle than Baltimore. Seattle is just a few pieces short of a World Serieis run, except the M's management won't do what it takes to field that kind team. Instead we get throw aways like McCracken and Spiezio.

Tejada went for the money. The M's offered him a good five year deal (we should have learned our lesson with Cirrilo) but Miguel went for the stupid money and will now never have a World Series ring. I'm hoping the Red Sox still want Freddy Garcia and will be willing to trade the Mariners...

Do the Yankees need Sheffield that bad or is it they just don't want anyone else to have him? Anaheim is a mid-market team because there's no cuch thing as an Angels fan. :) Texas is all about football and baseball is still a novelty sport. It looks like the M's will sign Guardo, but will...

The Mariners have already offered Tejada $25 million for three years, so I doubt the A's will resign him unless they agree to a seven year contract. I would recommend the A's pass on that length of contract (see Jeff Cirrilo). I'm sorry the M's are going to lose Cammy, but the greatest...

I'm sure Seattle would be willing to trade Jeff Cirrilo for Aaron Boone.

I think Ibanez will work out well in Seattle. I was one of the many who were sorry to see him go. Besides, he hits very well at the Safe. My only problem with us signing an outfielder is I would rather keep Randy Winn than Cameron. Don't get me wrong, I like Cammy and think he's a great guy and...

Dan, I don't think Cashman is coming because Steinbrenner hasn't fired him yet and Cashman's as much an East Coast guy as Beane is West Coast. I hope Paul Molitor works out. We really need a good batting coach. I think the M's will have about a 30-40% change in their makeup. Cammie...
