It's certainly no surprise. The Mariners have a nice collection of young talent, but they'll have to part with their top prospect if they want to swing a deal for one of the game's best pitchers. Nick Franklin or Brad Miller are guys that could also be included in a package for Price, as the M's no longer have a starting spot for both of them with Robinson Cano on board.
I also read they are talking to Choo, Beltran and Cruz. So maybe they will just sign the protection for Cano and trade for Price. Felix, Price and Iwakuma. Does it matter who's 4th and 5th?I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

The other thing with Seattle is prior to the Cano deal they only had $36M committed to players so far. They are now up to $51M. Recently they've had a salary around $85M, they've been as high as $117M in 2008. Granted the $36M I am talking about is for only five players but most of their young players are making well under $1M. Only Smoak and Saunders are going into their first year of arbitration. Everyone else is still pre-arbitration. They can sign a few more big names and fill out the roster with those cheap players and stay within their payroll budget.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

I posted this in the Yankees thread and thought it may be of interest here--
Just in case anyone was wondering--
Doing a VERY rough cut of Cano's deal with Seattle for $24 million per year, given the tax rates of New York State and City and that the state of Washington has no state income tax, the Yankees would have had to offer between $25.44 and $26.95 million per year for the after-tax numbers to come out evenly. New York state taxes top out at 8.82% on taxable income over $2 million, and NYC taxes top out at 3.876% on taxable income over $500,000.
