Trade talks seem to be heating up between the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees. The Yanks could pull in Jarrod Washburn and Jose Vidro, while Seattle could get Kei Igawa and perhaps salary relief.

Fewer things in baseball give me more pleasure than New York Yankee panic moves. Even better is when those panic moves involve signing or trading for the biggest disappointments and/or wastes of space off my favorite team. Well right now, the Fightin' Hanks are treating me like a Make-A-Wish Kid   more...

The underachieving Mariners are starting to look to the future and may look to trade Raul Ibanez. They have already released Richie Sexson, who is not drawing much interest, and may shop Jose Vidro along with Adrian Beltre. Ibanez to the Mets makes a lot of sense, mostly because it would not cost   more...

A glance at Seattle's awful defense.

These rankings are based off of their 2007 performance. The clear cut #1 Second Baseman during the pre-season is still playing "King of Hill" with the others. Chase Utley is a second baseman in a third basemans body. This guy just puts up monster numbers, and is a Top 5 Fantasy Player because of   more...

We break down the recent deal that sent Jose Vidro to the Mariners in exchange for Chris Snelling & Emiliano Fruto. Man, somebody got robbed.

Recent rumors have the Mariners still competing for the services of Erik Bedard and Johan Santana. I also believe that Brandon Morrow should be sent to Baltimore instead of Jeff Clement. Please check it out!

If the Mariners didn't already have Jose Lopez, this still might not have been a very good deal. The plan is to play Vidro at DH, but he hasn't been productive offensively since 2002. He's one of the oldest 32 year old players in the majors. Knee problems have drastically limited him defensively   more...

Every other team in baseball looked at this skillset and said "not interested". The Red Sox looked at this skillset and said "useful bench player if he'll play for nothing". The Mariners looked at this skillset and said "Starting DH, $6 million salary, #2 hitter".

Looks like the Seattle Mariners are calling up first baseman Bryan LaHair, which likely means the end of the Jose Vidro era. Wahoo!

Richie Sexson, Kenji Johjima, Raul Ibanez, Willie Bloomquist and Jose Vidro are all scheduled to leave the Seattle Mariners via free agency after this coming season. How many of them will even make it that far as a Mariner?

If Jeff Clement is not traded this offseason, the Mariners should platoon him and Jose Vidro at DH in 2008. This would add production, improve the bench and help the Mariners part with Vidro after this season, instead of activating his vesting option. Read the whole article for details!

As much as it pains me to do this, I am going to have to acknowledge the blatant racial discrimination in the treatment of Barry Bonds during the whole steroids, BALCO, Victor Conte saga. At the time, I thought that Barry was just getting the treatment he deserved as a cheater and an all around   more...
