So the Angels sign Pujols and Wilson, while we've indicated interest in Moyer, Guillén, Rhodes and Sherrill?

 Texas will probably get Prince right under our noses...

That's a pretty stupid trade for the Mariners to make.

Just a shot, Mariners ain't going anywhere soon playing in that division anyway.

Why? Angels have a lot of free agents coming up that they probably won't be able to afford. They have a lot of big decisions to make even after Pujols/Wilson. Rangers too. Mariners have the arms in the bigs and in the minors to contend with a bat or two. Those four teams aren't as spaced out as the media will make it seem.

If we traded Felix for Hanley, it looks like a desperate move. Very desperate

I'll take your word for it. I'm not an expert on the AL West per se.

From the MLB thread:

[h3]

[h3]Trade
2. New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners[/h3]Yankees
acquire RHP Felix Hernandez
Mariners acquire RHP Ivan
Nova, C Jesus Montero, RHP Dellin Betances

Seattle Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik says he’s not going to trade Hernandez, but if the Mariners eventually want to become legitimate
contenders they might have to. A blockbuster four-player deal with the Yankees would point the Mariners in the right direction. Nova and Betances would go right in a young rotation of Michael Pineda, Danny Hultzen and Jason Vargas a formidable five that should develop into a quintet of 15-game winners. Montero would give them a long-term middle-of-the-order bat they would control for the next six years. And with the money saved on Hernandez, they could put that towards signing Prince Fielder. The Yankees on the other hand would have one of the
best 1-2 punches at the top of the rotation in C.C. Sabathia and Hernandez and instantly improve their chances of getting back to the World Series.

Last week when I woke up I heard a gang of birds singing, the sunlight beamed off the dewey grass, and a plane flew overhead. I could smell the freshness of the morning and I thought of one thing....Baseball!
