LOL, start time to start printing world series tickets! In all seriousness Bloomquist is a nice bench player but I didn't really feel it was newsworthy on here.

BTW, do you see your Mariners making a push for Cano? And yes I ask that even though I'm aware of the presence of Ackley and Franklin but still...
Not trying to troll you or anything but I can't honestly can't tell if the Mariners are still rebuilding or if they're following their neighbor in San Diego's footsteps and staying mediocre. And I say that because the M's were going all in on Josh Hamilton last year (or at least they were rumored to be going after Hamilton) and failed and if Ackley (and to an extent Montero and Smoak, even though they were brought in from other teams) is/are any indication I can't tell if their rebuild is working.

I wouldn't be surprised. Our only major contract is Felix and outside of that we have Iwakuma making around 5 mill and then a bunch of youngsters on rookie contracts. The M's also just bought Root Sports so there will be a lot of TV money coming in from that, so we theoretically have more spending money than we've ever had. I honestly wouldn't mind overpaying for a guy like Cano, cause bringing in a guy like that at least shows a commitment to winning and could show other potential FA's that we're serious. We haven't had much to cheer for lately and having a superstar come in would at least increase fan interest as well. As far as the rebuilding goes, those three have been disappointments. I think there's still some hope left for Ackley who had a good second half last year. I want to be wrong about Smoak, but he's been around long enough that I think we kinda know what he is. Montero, well I don't even want to talk about him. We still have Miller/Franklin in the infield who are pretty highly regarded along with Mike Zunino behind the dish. We also have a bunch of good young pitching that we could flip for bats if need be and our farm systems still ranked among the best in baseball. So to answer your question I think the plan is to still build around young guys, but the fact that we've taken shots at guys like Fielder/Hamilton does show that they want to supplement them with legit talent. Just a matter of what we're willing to offer/whose willing to come. We're not gonna be able to bring in any names without overpaying until we turn around in the win department.

Lol, ironically in the past 24 hours reports of Mariners being heavily interested in Cano have surfaced. Now they're "real players."
Please take him and give us your draft pick.

We were supposedly serious about Prince and Hamilton as well, so only time will tell.
