Sexson official
As I had said earlier, the Sexson deal was going to happen, simply because he WANTS to play here. He was just using Baltimore to up the price-
"I am very excited about coming home to play for the Mariners," said Sexson, who is from Brush Prairie, Wash. "My preference all along was to sign with Seattle and to return to the Northwest."
However, if reports are true that the M's are paying $48 million for Sexson to "come home" then the Mariners are making a big mistake.
As predictable as rain, the excuse will become "we couldn't address all of our holes due to the market spinning out of control" speech from the FO. The fact that the M's threw too much money at an injured 1st basemen is a problem. Not the market.
To put this into perspective, Sexson:
Other than that, it looks great! I mean, we have no 3B or CF, but those guys are easy to find. (sarcasm)
The waiting continues...

To put this into perspective, Sexson:
- becomes highest paid player in M's history
- makes more than Ichiro
- takes up more than half the available money to spend this offseason
- plays a position that is the easiest to fill besides DH
Other than that, it looks great! I mean, we have no 3B or CF, but those guys are easy to find. (sarcasm)
