Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
Jeff Nelson, who blasted the Mariner brass for again failing to make a trade at the dealine, has himself been traded to his old team, the Yankees, for fellow hot potato, Armando Benitez and cash (i.e., less than $3 M).
Meanwhile, the M's Kaz Sasaki is set to return but will reportedly ease back into the closer's role. I wonder if the M's were concerned about the two home runs that Sasaki allowed in his last rehab appearance and acquired Benitez for insurance (like Hasegawa isn't enough?) or if the just wanted to rid themselves of Nelson.
