Damn You, Jack Z!

posted by MooseHaas, Dec 03, 2008

The Mariners (led by our ex-draft wiz) just signed Russell Branyan to a one-year deal. Does this mean we're committing to a Gamel/Hall platoon at third? EDIT - Deal is for one year, worth $1.4 million with an additional $500k in incentives available.

It's actually less than I expected, but still about 40% more than the Brewers have offered. (h/t Crawfish Boxes) Also, it's possible CC Sabathia loves everyone. Apparently he's also friends with Nick Swisher.

After re-signing both Arenas and team captain Antawn Jamison this month, and adding backup point guard Dee Brown, the Wizards are between $1 million and $1.5 million under the NBA luxury tax for the coming season.

— Washington Times. Huh? How did that happen? I thought we established that we had 3.4 million before signing Dee Brown. Where did all that money go? If we knew we'd have this little under the tax, we might as well have kept Bill Walker.
