Breaking News - Ichiro signs 5/yr $100 million deal with M's

Pretty sweet deal for him.

agreed. Must be nice to be rich and know you have a nice chunk of dough coming every year for doing nothing.

Beltre is hitting .277 this year and playing his usual stellar third base. If this continues (I think it will) he's worth re-signing.

His career OPS+ is 108, with the Mariners is barely over 100. And doesn't he have 3 more years left on that awful, awful, deal? He makes Eric Chavez look like an all star....

Beltre is definitely more valuable than Chavez this season. I'd bet they were about dead even last year and Beltre was worse the year prior.
