THAT would be a splash move, even if they don't let him do his thing as a 2-way player (although watching him DH every day and pitch every 5th day would be tremendous). Might as well at least throw your hat in the ring - the Ms have to get lucky sometime, and getting that extra $750k international bonus pool money could be for precisely this purpose.
Otani is the kind of player who could change the complexion of the Mariners in one stroke of the pen. Guess we'll have something to hold out hope for this offseason.
