Bobby Wagner heading back to Seattle

[Billz4ever]

 

Thought he'd be a good fit for us.  $7M. Wonder if he gave Seattle a home team discount.

[NeverOutNick]

Reasonable price too

[The_Ripster]

announce kwon alexander to the bills!

[Process]

Oof that would have been a real nice get for us at that price. Would have allowed us to kick the can down the road another year. 

 

MLB in the first two rounds is pretty much guaranteed now. No FAs left.

This morning?  He was an aging player who still had a lot in the tank, and would have been great for the Bills.

 

Now?  Old man. So glad he's going to another team.  We need to get younger.

Yep, Campbell has got to be high on Beane's radar.

Loser. Anyone who has a chance to play for a super bowl and goes back to a non-contending team isn't anyone we want on this team anyhow

True for half the board.  For the other half…..this morning he was not worth the $ but now he’s a missed opportunity

Seattle front office likely said 'We will let other teams determine value.  Go get wined and dined with free hotel & air fare other teams and then we will make counter offer."

I'm gonna cut him some slack for going back to his old team.  Doesn't hurt that Washington state lacks an income tax, either.

That was our last option to find a capable MLB in free agency. At this point Edmunds' replacement is almost certainly coming in the draft, likely with a day one or two pick.

[Chaos]

Well, we still have Ed Oliver on the Dline.

Eh, I recall Joe Marino (host of LockedOn Bill) being in on Wagner and then watching some tape on him and being less than impressed…not saying Wagner is old or washed up, but he doesn’t have much left. Considering he went unsigned for this long and signed for that amount, I think a lot of GM’s saw the same thing from the tape.

Agreed.  It will not surprise me at all to hear Jack Campbell in the first for us.

Me too. And I would love that pick, especially if we trade for DeAndre Hopkins before the draft.

I gotta think Beane looked into him. I really just think he wanted to end his career back in Seattle.

[Paul Costa]

I remember Beane say post Tremaine signing with Bears that maybe his replacement is already on the roster. Don’t kill the messenger, that was said. 

[Negan]

Guess winning wasn't a priority for him.

Good stay in the NFC
