MIDNIGHT YIELDS ACTUAL MARINER NEWS??
It's not much to get a lot of post material out of, but Shig Hasegawa's agent will apparently present a counteroffer to the Mariners later today. Frankly, I wouldn't mind this guy or Raf Soriano closing, and then having Sasaki walk or go to JPN. It'd leave more money to mess around with somewhere else, right? You gotta scare up some Tejada money somewhere, why not here?
From the Times, just a couple general baseball notes, a couple about signings that I just didn't know about that we hadn't covered yet on the blog. Namely, Luis Castillo staying with the Marlins for the next three years, the Yankees retaining Enrique Wilson, Chris Carpenter signs on for a year with the Cardinals, and Abe Nunez staying another year with the Pirates.
The Times article reminded me that Chris Carpenter hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2001. I suddenly remembered that Jon Lieber missed one year (one less than Carpenter) after joining the Yankees, and if he gets back to the form he had with the Cubs, then lookout. That guy was quite a workhorse for the Cubs, throwing at least 200 innings for three straight seasons and going 20-6 in 2001 before succumbing to injury during the 2002 season.
