IT'S OFFICIAL
Kazuhiro Sasaki will not be a Mariner in 2004
Kazuhiro Sasaki's agent, Tony Attanasio, confirmed Monday afternoon that the right-hander has decided to forfeit the final year of his two-year, $16 million contract and remain in Japan.
"It's true. He's not coming back," Attanasio said. "He wants to be with his wife and two children. They weren't with him last year and it played on him the entire year."
Hopefully Sasaki can find some happiness in his personal life. More power to him.
Anyways, don't expect the Mariners to spend Kazu's 2004 dough on anything useful. They will use it on some hack like Marvin Benard or use it for another gameday employees cake party.
As good as this news is, dammit, it just doesn't matter. Philly fans, you don't know what hell is like. Seattle fans know what hell is like.
Third place here we come. And like the top of our page says:
