Russell Brayan Sighted in Seattle

E-mail Print PDF
The Terms:

One year, $1.4 million with incentives.

Best Case Scenario for Mariners:

He earns the incentives.

Worst Case Scenario for Mariners:

The Mariners are out $1.4 million.

Bottom Line:

This is a pure stop-gap signing. No one expects Rusell Branyan to be an All-Star, or even an everyday players. The Mariners are taking a flyer on a guy that could hit 20 homers, with enough playing time. Branyan is just there to fill a spot until the M’s can get themselves organized. They have a lot of players in the pipe, so why not take a flyer on a guy that could go big for awhile. What, they’re going to lose 100 games as a result?
