Mariners eyeing Cuban Defector?
The PI reports that the Mariners will have scouts on hand to watch Cuban defector Maels (pronounced "Miles") Rodriguez throw tomorrow in San Salvador, El Salvador.
If he throws 100 MPH as he has reportedly done in the past, we could see another Jose Contreras style bidding war and his agent is supposedly planning to use that as a starting point.
Honestly, I can see no reason for the M's to get involved in these talks, so I assume we are just there to do some scouting. We'll keep following this one.
