Washburn close to signing a 4 year deal with the Mariners

[Guancous]

The contract amount hasn't been announced yet. I'm going to guess somewhere around the $28 million range.

Several sources have speculated 36-38 million over 4 years.

I'm guessing this means Millwood will not be going to Seattle.

 

I'm also guessing that the Cubs still have plenty of money left to spend.

 

Hmmm....

Hmmm....

I'll take the 2005 Millwood in the Cubs rotation. The only thing is, can we expect that?

Probably... as long as we only give him a one year contract.

[Tracer Bullet]

Done deal.

 

Is it just me or does $37.5m/4 years seem like a lot for Washburn?

I think it is. I'd rather have Rusch at his cost.

As bad as our situation seems/is at times I'm glad I'm not a Mariner fan. With some of the contracts/players they have that team is set up to be DISASTROUS for many years. Beltre was unproducitve with a big contract. Sexson wasn't worth the money he got. Etc. etc. Unless these guys start living up to their paychecks and/or their farm system gives them a SERIOUS infusion of top tier talent, their outlook is dire...at best.
