February 7, 201313 yr Felix Hernandez signed a 7 year, 175 million deal today. Decent chunk of change
February 7, 201313 yr I understand not wanting to get rid of elite players, but maybe they would have benefited more by trading Hernandez and spreading that money around.
February 7, 201313 yr Author I just don't understand the need to give him that kind of money to lock him up before he hits the market, did they expect him to net even more than that as a free agent?

February 7, 201313 yr I guess it's possible. Yanks have a lot of money coming off the books and a lot of holes in an old rotation...
February 7, 201313 yr Author With their new self imposed salary cap, they may not have been able to go that high even with the money coming off.
February 8, 201313 yr I guess it's possible. Starting pitchers are being paid a lot of money. On a per year basis, Felix got just a little more than Grienke did this offseason despite being a much better pitcher.
February 8, 201313 yr Yeah... The Mariners have actually been trying to sign people and make moves but they haven't had much luck.
