And the Bavasi Era house cleaning gets underway. For some reason I thought he had signed a five-year deal before the '05 season, so was expecting this to be a more expensive pill for the Mariners to swallow than it is. But they 'only' have to pay out about half of the $15.5 million he was set to receive this season. Dude's made about $70 million since 1997
