Mariners Make AnotherTrade and Huskies bound.

Sunday evening  the Mariners  made 
another move giving us more questions 
then answers. Obviously we have to
trust Jerry  Dipoto  what he is doing 
though very hard.

The Mariners  traded outfielder  Jarred 
Kelenic, first baseman Evan White and
starting pitcher Marco Gonzales. I  have
no problem  trading at least Evan White 
and Marco. White has been since he 
signed  his extension and the Mariners 
have no starting spot for Marco. Kelenic 
obviously  was in the doghouse since
salary doesn't save a lot. I  may included 
Dylan Moore  in the trade to save more
money. They mave have discussed it
with the Atlanta Braves who were their
trade partner.

What I can't  believe is what the Mariners 
got in return. Though it is salary dump
you think the Mariners could have gotten 
prospects  or at least better ones in return.
The Mariners received two pitchers in
return.  One pitched part of three seasons 
in the major leagues with Kansas City with
little success. Maybe the Mariners can turn
him into a success story. The other is a
20 year old who I am not sure how high
a prospect  he is.

In college football  the Washington Huskies 
are going to play Texas in the Sugar Bowl
on New Year's  evening. The Texas Longhorns 
are favored in the game although they have
the number three ranking while Huskies are
ranked second. The Huskies  will take the
underdog  approach hopefully leading to
the national championship.  Whatever happens 
it has been  a great Huskies  season. Go Dawgs!
