The Mariners said their plan was to give him three days a week at DH and maybe a little outfield time. That's considerably more time than the Angels have to offer. He is only gonna get like 40 games hitting for them. That's nowhere near enough time to establish his two-way value.
Which implies that he didn't care about that anywhere near as much as he'd like is to think. I think he valued the endorsements more than the at bats...Which makes his "special bond" statement sound even more like baloney than it did when I first read it.
