West
**tes: Dodgers, Mariners, Rangers
One doesn't always associate the*
Dodgers*with bargain signings, but agents tell*
Ben Nicholson-Smith of SportsNet.ca*that the Dodgers' acquisitions*of
Dan Haren and
Paul Maholm are among the most team-friendly of the offseason. L.A. got Haren, who wanted to return to the
West Coast, for one year and $10MM, and Maholm on an incentive-based deal. Agents also name the
Ervin Santana,
Nelson Cruz and
A.J. Burnett deals as good ones for teams. Here are more **tes from around the
West divisions.
- The*Mariners*are still open to adding a starting pitcher, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal*tweets. "Our ears are still open," says GM Jack Zduriencik. "We’ll see what happens." Injuries have*left the Mariners' rotation uncertain*after Felix Hernandez.
- Zduriencik says the Mariners' attention to detail helped them woo Robinson Ca**,*MLB.com's Barry M. Bloom writes.*"Jay-Z came, Robinson Ca** came. There were probably eight of them that rolled into Seattle. ... It was Jay-Z's birthday the day before. We had a birthday cake for him. We sang Happy Birthday," Zduriencik says.*"We made a great presentation. It was amazing how the whole process came along so quickly."
- The*Rangers*had already discussed the idea of trading Ian Kinsler for Prince Fielder before the*Tigers*proposed it,*ESPN Dallas' Richard Durrett reports. The day before Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski called to propose the deal, Rangers assistant GM A.J. Preller had discussed it in a meeting of the Rangers' baseball execs. Durrett's piece is one of two parts about the Rangers' offseason additions of Fielder and Shin-Soo Choo.*Here's part two, which details a meeting the Rangers had with Choo before they signed him.
