Oof that would have been a real nice get for us at that price. Would have allowed us to kick the can down the road another year. 

 

MLB in the first two rounds is pretty much guaranteed now. No FAs left.

Yep, Campbell has got to be high on Beane's radar.

This morning?  He was an aging player who still had a lot in the tank, and would have been great for the Bills.

 

Now?  Old man. So glad he's going to another team.  We need to get younger.

 

 

True for half the board.  For the other half…..this morning he was not worth the $ but now he’s a missed opportunity

Thought he'd be a good fit for us.  $7M. Wonder if he gave Seattle a home team discount.

 

Seattle front office likely said 'We will let other teams determine value.  Go get wined and dined with free hotel & air fare other teams and then we will make counter offer."

Loser. Anyone who has a chance to play for a super bowl and goes back to a non-contending team isn't anyone we want on this team anyhow

 

I'm gonna cut him some slack for going back to his old team.  Doesn't hurt that Washington state lacks an income tax, either.

Eh, I recall Joe Marino (host of LockedOn Bill) being in on Wagner and then watching some tape on him and being less than impressed…not saying Wagner is old or washed up, but he doesn’t have much left. Considering he went unsigned for this long and signed for that amount, I think a lot of GM’s saw the same thing from the tape.

That was our last option to find a capable MLB in free agency. At this point Edmunds' replacement is almost certainly coming in the draft, likely with a day one or two pick.

Agreed.  It will not surprise me at all to hear Jack Campbell in the first for us.

I gotta think Beane looked into him. I really just think he wanted to end his career back in Seattle.
