Why even throw the extra sentence about King Felix’s trade value? He isn’t going anywhere. He’s a self-proclaimed Seattlite and Mariner for life.

Because it’s 100% true that IF the Mariners deal him, he’ll get them a huge return.

Jury still out on Halladay? Sure he’s injured this year. But the last two years lead to 2 playoff appearances, while him throwing a regular season perfect game, post-season no-hitter, averaging 20 wins/season with an ERA around 2.50 and won a Cy Young. Hmmm…not sure if he was worth it…

Some clarification on the Cain extension. The deal was for guaranteed $112.5M in new money; $20 million for 5yrs annually beginning in 2013, a $5 million signing bonus and a $7.5 million buyout if his vested option of $21 million for 2018 doesn’t kick in and Giants don’t exercise their side. It would be exercised if he pitched 200 innings in 2017 or 400 in 2016 and 2017 – that is, unless he ends the final season on the disabled list with an elbow or shoulder ailment. Max money would make it $126M -6yr deal and covers his year 28-32yr old season, option year is his 33yo season.
The deal keeps getting reported as 6yr/127.5M because the Giants add a no trade clause to this season, but his salary for this year is unchanged from the prior extension he signed. What’s interesting is the extension Cain is now wrapping up was suppose to have 1 more year of free agency bought out. During negotiation that spring Cain was sidelined with some elbow discomfort for a couple of weeks and 4yrs became 3yrs.
