PROCESS OF ELIMINATION
We know two places that the sudden $9.5M windfall will not go.
Russell Branyan. The Braves inked him to a minor-league deal.
On the very very happy note...
Marvin Benard will not get a 3-year, $14M deal we were thinking he might get from the Mariners. Instead, he has signed a minor-league deal with the Chicago White Sox.
So what's the first think I think of after hearing all this?
"Dammit," exclaimed Bill Bavasi as he slumped over his desk, lukewarm coffee slowly staining his "Daddy Loves You" coffee mug he got last Christmas...
Maybe I can turn that into a novel or something. Imagine...How to Blow Up A Major League Baseball Team in Six Months: a story of Bill Bavasi's first offseason as the Mariners' General Manager.
