Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Phillies, Cuban, Kazmir

By Mike Axisa | June 17, 2011 at 11:40am CDT

Three years ago today, the Mariners fired GM Bill Bavasi after five years at the helm. Seattle was an MLB worst 24-45 at the time, and they went on to become the first team in history to lose 100 games with a $100MM payroll. Current GM Jack Zduriencik took over after the season and immediately went to work rebuilding the team around Felix Hernandez and Ichiro Suzuki.

Here are this week's links as we draw closer to the trade deadline…
