It pays to use PED's kids. Overpay by the Mariners for a home run hitter and signed him until he is 38. I realize the Mariners are hard up for offense but this is a reach on a DH.
Just thankful the O's were wise to let him walk. I was scared they would commit that money. Wouldn't mind giving $4 years $40 mil to Andrew Miller though.
I'm not convinced as an M's fan this was a great move. A couple years maybe.. and I still have my suspicions of a guy serving a suspension to end a year because of PED use and come back the next and lead the league in Homers and RBI....
If you look at Miami's depth chart, it's full of some potent offensive names and a handful of former top prospects (LoMo, Ackley, Zunino, to name a few). Long term I'm not sure this will be a great move, but on paper they look pretty tough for 2015. They have a very good staff as well.
