It's a wonder that this team was competitive at all this season, remember the M's were only 2.5 games out prior to this losing streak. Look at where the money is going:
Ichiro $18,000,000 = -0.3 WARBradley $13,333,333 = -0.5 WARHernandez $11,700,000 = 3.6 WARFiggins $9,500,000 = -1.3 WARWilson $5,000,000 = -0.3 WARAardsma $4,500,000 = DLGutierrez $4,312,500 = 0.0 WAR
$66.35 million dollars has bought this team 1.2 WAR.
Anything and everything we can do to jettison the dead-weight should be done, even if it means tossing useful pieces into the deal. Ichiro, Figgins, Jack Wilson - package them with types like League, Bedard, and Kennedy and clear the decks for a Prince.
