I generally agree, I dont see the Mariners splurging $100+ million on
Bay or Holliday considering they'll have to re-sign King Felix for big
bucks (if he even wants to stay in Seattle). But, I can see the
Mariners offering Matsui $8-10 million for 1 season of his services.

Plan C....trade for Adrian Gonzalez or Hanley Ramirez to replace Bay's
power if he leaves town.
