Mets decline JJ's option
$1m buyout instead of an $8.6m option. This'll be an interesting name to watch; JJ would make a great buy-low candidate for a bad team looking to cash him in at the deadline, but on the other hand, it was the Red Sox who wound up with Takashi Saito for $1.5m a year ago, so this could go any number of ways. What's important is, we win.

Mariners traded an aging veteran that ended up having his option delcined for some of the most useful players we have on our team.
Ergo, we win.

Oh. I already knew that the trade a steal for the Mariners. The Mets declining his option doesn't make it any better than it already is.

Could the Mariners potentially take him back for a low salary with incentives?

If Putz and not Silva was the one who threatened to knock Ichiro out then no thanks.

Funny idea: KC takes him since he is a former Mariner. JJ goes on to have a wonderful rest of a career with 5 years at '07 ability.
In other words, good luck Putz.

Anywhere but Oakland
Oakland adds like, 3 WAR to every new player they sign. No, really.

Like Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Giambi and Orlando Cabrera?

Let us not forget Matt Holliday's prestigious run

Matt Holliday was exactly 3 WAR while on Oakland.
After being 0 WAR all offseason.

Not signed as a free agent.
You’d think you would have known that.

No I am actually a person.
And I am not currently in mud.
