TIMES
Three articles from the Times tonight...
First off, Finnigan tells us nothing really new, other than that the Mariners could conceivably bump Tejada's offer to four years with an option or five years. That and since Anaheim and LA are somewhat involved in the Nomar thing and Tejada expects a contract by the weekend, Tejada could fall into the Mariners' lap, barring anything stupid by Baltimore and Detroit.
To bring some legitimacy to the Times, Larry Stone cranked out two articles in Friday's Times. One is on the winter meetings, and the other is on how Bill Bavasi is using Pat Gillick a bunch (Gillvasi, as termed in certain areas of the blogosphere).
One thing I love about the Gillvasi article...
Far from heading home to Canada to retire, Gillick, 66, hopes to remain active and involved with the Mariners.
Does everyone still remember how Pat Gillick basically retired for a day last July 31st when he was in Canada moving with his wife so conveniently on deadline day?
An interesting thing from the winter meetings article is the statement that one GM says the Alex/Manny deal is holding up five to ten agents. Intriguing. I'm hoping those dominoes fall and I'm hoping they fall in the Mariners' favor, of course.
