Geoff Baker of The Seattle Times says that if the Mariners get a really good offer for Erik Bedard, Jarrod Washburn, or Russell Branyan, they should take it considering the team's recent swoon.

Scott Rolen Trade: Confusing
Tyler's Take On Sports —
... as an organization, the move does not make a whole lot of sense. The Blue Jays botched the Roy Halladay situation, from where I am standing, wasting an opportunity to cash in on their asset with his value at its peak. However, I like what Toronto, who said that Rolen asked to be moved for “personal reasons,” did here. General manager J.P. Riccardi picked up two solid minor league pieces and an all-hit, no-field infielder who has value going forward in Encarnacion I wrote about Encarnacion last week: Encarnacion's value is at a real low point. He's ...

Revisting An Epic Mistake: The Cordero Contract
Tyler's Take On Sports —
... Rolen is a nice player and will help them out on defense. He is on the wrong side of 30, injury prone and making way too much money for a team that is an unrealistic contender for ’10, however. The cost of the prospects, including stud Zach Stewart, and payroll considerations were simply way too much for his services. One would assume that Castellini is going for it in ’10 now, but recent moves have been inconsistent with that approach. In reality, the organization should have been looking to unload as much payroll as possible at the deadline. ...
