I'm not buying that the Braves asked about Figgins and the M's said "No! He's not available" without seeing who the Braves were offering.
More likely, the M's didn't like the proposed package....
Or, even more likely, the Braves weren't buying....They have Omar Infante hitting .339 in a utility role... and they have Chipper Jones at 3rd and Martin Prado at 2nd (although he is out for 10-15 days..so Infante steps in). Where would they play Figgins this year...unless they were assuming Jones retires after the year.
They needed a CF...so they got Ankiel.
Figgins doesn't fit in this year.
