What's Up With Garret Anderson?

Any news on Garret Anderson? His player profile at BOTH ESPN and at Yahoo (linked) have nothing in them. No news may be bad news for our beloved G-A.

Mariners or Athletics (my guesses)

…he will be back to haunt us in April regardless…

But not in October...

…which is what really matters.

I wish him the best. But the thought of him in kelly green and gold…brrrrrrrrrr……

I don't know...I'm makin' this up as I go.

Why?

Both teams realize he’s not a good fielder and both teams seem to have DH locked up.

MLBTradeRumors

Has mentioned a couple of times that Seattle is considering Anderson to be a viable option but hasn’t made any moves yet.

Not necessarily a credible report, but a report nonetheless.

oops

He’ll be lucky to get more than 2M in this market.

I wish him well and hope he lands in a good situation somewhere.

Money doesn't matter

I don’t think money matters to GA otherwise the angels probably would of signed him. He is more concerned about playing everyday which the angels did not offer him.

i'd dance the jig if that happened

but their outfield situation is worse than ours.

delmon young, michael cuddyer, jason kubel, denard span, carlos gomez.

they don’t need a garret anderson.

True

but they also are rumored to want to trade Delmon Young. It could open up a spot. But I hope he just signs some where.

Ouch

After reading that, my opinion has shifted such that I now think we should only offer GA a minor league contract and let him play his way onto the roster in spring.
