Interesting article here about dysfunction in the Mariners front office. I know Wedge resigned due to different visions or something but..wow.

http://seattletimes.com/html/mariners/2022420240_mariners08xml.html

Just read that yesterday. What a joke. This is why I haven't watched the Mariners in years, not going to give the franchise my support when all this shit is going down.

Now there's this:

http://deadspin.com/the-mariners-may-have-bid-against-themselves-for-robins-1479755692

By mid-day Friday, Seattle had heard that some team bid nine years and $225 million for Robinson Cano, so the Mariners upped their bid to $240 million and 10 years before apparently realizing the initial bid had come from themselves, too.

Wow. I don't know if I've seen that before.

Roy Halladay is going to sign a one-day contract with the Blue Jays to retire. I personally hope he can overcome playing on shitty Toronto teams and somewhat weak counting stats to get into the hall of fame someday.

I hope so. Not winning a ring may hurt, but the general thought from writers is he'll get in there. From 2002-2011, there weren't many pitchers better.

I've read that from fans on Twitter. They said it makes sense now why there have been so many bad deals in the past like they mentioned..singing Figgins, trading Morrow, Delabar, Lee and Fister. What a mess.

Pineda looks like his best move, even if Montero hasn't been great. And getting Ryan.

Today has been crazy. JP Arencibia a free agent, Fister to the Nats last night, Dexter Fowler to the 'Stros. And now Ellsbury to the Yanks seems likely.

Not surprised by some of the QO, both made and not made.

I hope Johnson comes back cheaper, and I'd like to take a run at Ruiz, Infante and Samardzija.

My pipe dream is Cano and trading for a big name pitcher. Some sites have said if the Jays have the cash and the fact we NEED to be better next season to save AA and Gibbons jobs, we could aggressively go after Cano. The strong presence of Dominicans like Reyes, Edwin, Bautista and Cabrera could be a selling point apparently.

Again, my dream offseason. I don't actually see Cano going anywhere.

Why them. Anyone but them. Why John Farrell. Sports media and some fans will be insufferable for days now.

But congrats to the Sox. Like seeing Butterfield, Johnny Mac and Dempster win.

Leafs are playing very poorly right now but have gotten away with it before last night. Can't keep playing like we have and expect to win, especially against great teams like Chicago. Goaltending has been superb though.
