Yankees Sign Sexson, Thank the Mariners

WFAN-AM in New York is reporting that former Mariner first baseman Richie Sexson has been signed by the New York Yankees. Since Sexson cleared waivers after his release last week, the Mariners will be responsible for the majority of his Yankee salary for the remainder of the year. So not only do the Mariners overpay their own underperforming players, they are now paying for guys to sit on the Yankees' bench. Makes sense to us.

It's been a tough summer for sports fans here in Seattle. Thankfully Seahawks training camp opens in Kirkland next week. Yay football.
