by Eli Greenspan on Jan 27, 2007 9:52 AM EST

The Mariners and Jeff Weaver have finalized a one year deal, worth 8.325 million dollars. Weaver, who 8-14 with the Angels and Cardinals, can make up to million more in incentives. The Cardinals, who offered him 12 million over the next two years, were informed they were out of the running right before he reached his deal. Weaver will join Horacio Ramirez and Miguel Batista as the newest members of the pitching staff.

Weaver should have stayed with the Cards. Dave Duncan is one of the best pitching coaches in the league and there was a reason why Weaver flourished in St. Louis after bombing with the Angels. Very dumb move on Weaver's part IMO.

yeah but according to reports, Weaver was offered a 2 year deal for $12 million. That's $6 million a year, apperntly more money is more important then the chance to compete for a World Series title every year.
