This would be a very interesting deal. Its a high risk, high reward type deal. Soriano is super talented but is also very injury prone. Manny is super talented but has the mood swings that Bobby Knight couldnt handle. Add this with the fact they made a supposed offer to Jason Schimdt (Washington Native). The M's might actually might make a good run in this FA Haul. If they can get Schimdt for 11-14 M (Padilla is rumored to get around 10-13 M from Texas). It could be a very strong season for the M's.One rumor hinted at a possible three-way deal with Boston and San Francisco. The Red Sox, who need a closer, are thought to be high on the Mariners' Rafael Soriano. The Giants, in that scenario, would land Sexson with Ramirez coming to Seattle. Soriano's move to Boston would complete the blockbuster.
