Raul Ibanez has signed with the Seattle Mariners, returning to his original team. I don't quite understand this deal. In one scenario, Cameron goes and either Winn or Ichiro plays center. In another scenario, Winn goes. However, Winn and Cameron both posted 21 win share seasons in 2003 (Ichiro 23, making it a great outfield), whereas Ibanez only accumulated 15. So if Ibanez plays, that would appear to hurt the Mariners. Winn is not eligable for free agency yet, so his salary can be controlled, and he certainly won't be getting over $4 million a year. Unless Bavasi has a great deal for Winn in the works, this is a loss for the Mariners.
