Not only are the Mariners taking on $12 million of Jose Vidro's $16 million salary for the next two years, they're also going to give him a vesting option for 2009 to make up for him waiving his no-trade clause.
It just keeps getting better. At least the Mariners didn't give up talent when they brought in Carl Everett to DH last season. The trade sending Vidro to Seattle for Chris Snelling and Emiliano Fruto is set to be officially announced on Thursday.

I don't know anything about the prospects, but what a terrible move by the Mariners. I'm assuming Vidro will start at 1st base or DH because there's no way Jose Lopez isn't playing second base next year. They should just keep Ben Broussard, he's a lot more likely to stay healthy and has a better bat than Vidro at this point. I'm guessing Broussard will be traded now.
This means Cristian Guzman is starting for the Nationals again, lol.
