On top of that they actually had to add a solid pre-arb reliever to make it happen. That's just a joke.

Rosenthal also added that the Mariners will also cut a Segura a $1M check for waiving his NTC.
I mean, if that were the case, they'd have done it.

The Mariners didn't WANT to take back salary here; they're clearly trying to knock this back to the studs. And they made their interest in moving him well known so if there were better bids to be made, they'd have taken them.

There just wasn't a market for the guy so this is what you get. 'Asshole' is a tough anchor to lug around in trade discussions - just ask Brett Veach.
