Default Re: Baseball musical chairs? Benitez to Mariners for Nelson.

I think Dynasty hit the nail on the head. The big news here is that the Mariners didn't do anything before the deadline--fans are upset. I think we'd like to unload Cirillo and maybe Garcia, but both of them are doing so poorly that it'd be tough to get much in return. At least Cirillo is an excellent fielder, but the BA is down to .210. Garcia would be tough to give up on, IMO. I think he'll stay. Nelson complained that he was used to the Yankees making deals and doing what it takes to win, but the M's don't. Kind of ironic that he'd wind up there. Griffey used to openly bash the Mariner front office...I guess Nelson ain't no Griffey. I guess the FO is tired of that game.
