If we took on both deals, it saves Seattle a bit less than 10 million this year. I'd gladly send them Shark and a couple of others/cash. With the economy being what it is and that team's inevitable descent into third place, I think they're going to be looking to cut costs.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Beltre could be a decent candidate to bounce back once in the NL. And if we could get the deal done soon (unlikely), then he'd be great to fill in for Ramirez.
