e: When Pigs Fly!!! Sexson and his $14 mil contract? After the horrendous experience with Jack Morris, we may never see another player get paid more than $6 mil. I am not sure anyone wants this guy, and especially not Seattle because that contract is choking them. Seattle just offed Brad Wilkerson and needs a power hitting corner OF. This is a team that would be thrilled to get somebody like Nady who can cover the corner OF, 1B, and DH. They get him they can dump Sexson and his obnoxious contract.
The trade with Seattle will be Xavier Nady and a reliever for 18 year old SS phenom Carlos Triunfel and 1B Bryan LaHair. Johjima just signed a long term contract so he will be the Catcher - that means that LH power hitter Jeff Clement will be moving from Catcher to 1B/DH, which means that LaHair will soon be very, very expendable. That plays well to the strength of Nady to play a number of different positions. He will be the LF and will also back up Clement at 1B and offer a RH DH possibility. Nady and Sexson had around the same number of AB's last year - Sexson had 21 HR's, Nady 20 HR's.
