M's and Silva Agree to Deal

mlb.com Jim Street is reporting the mariners and carlos silva have agreed to a 4 year 44 million dollar contract. Its a good deal for the M's as it feels a big need for starting picthing. Silva will be asked to be the #3 or #4 starter. The contract is a lot but thats what the pitching market dictates these days. All in all I think it is a good signing by the mariners as they improve their rotation considerably with this move. UPDATE- Ken Rosenthal says the deal is for 48 million over 4 years.

On another note Ron Mahay and the Royals have agreed to a 2 year 8 million dollar contract and Geoff Jenkins signs a 2 year 13 million deal with the Phillies

the silva signing could come back to haunt the mariners in a huge way. hes entirely dependent on his defense since he doesnt strike anybody out, and the mariner defense, while good, isn't as great as people make it out to be.
