Mariners to get Jose Vidro in exchange for Snelling, Fruto

The Seattle Mariners would acquire second baseman Jose Vidro in a tentative trade that would send outfielder Chris Snelling and pitcher Emiliano Fruto to the Washington Nationals.

Vidro, an immobile, injury-prone, washed up 2B (when you have a young, promising 2B already in the system, so the Vidro-2B will have to DH) who is owed $12M for an injury prone, highly talented OF and a med-high ceiling pitcher? FSM, Bavasi, that’s just embarassingly bad. Horrible. Beyond the pale.

In sum:
Nats got younger, cheaper, and better
M’s got older, more expensive, and worse

I’m glad I’m not a fan of the Mariners or I’d have to go set something on fire right about now.
