Lookout Linkage, 1/6/15

Happy Hall of Fame election day! As we await the verdict on a few of our favorite past Mariners, here's some reading material to pass the time:

• Tyler Carmont at Prospect Insider wonders whether or not the Mariners could make another big splash in free agency this offseason.
• Beyond the Box Score is slightly concerned about Kyle Seager in 2015.
• 14 MLB.com writers have revealed their HoF ballots and based on the results things don't look too good for Edgar.
• MLB is unlikely to install a pitch clock for the 2015 season.
• The Royals have signed reliever Ryan Madson.
• The White Sox have signed utilityman Emilio Bonifacio.
• The Phillies have signed pitcher Aaron Harang (Mariner in 2013).
• James Shields has a large offer on the table from a mystery team.
• Eno Sarris of Fangraphs wonders if the Phillies could have acquired more for Marlon Byrd and scouts new Reds' prospect Ben Lively to answer that question.
• Vladimir Guerrero's son will be available for international signing this summer, and a few teams have already shown serious interest.
