WHAT CAN I DO TO GET YOU TO BUY THIS CAR TODAY? Why the Mariners should trade Felix Hernandez, by a bunch of national columnists:
  1. He is not a Yankee.
  2. He should be a Yankee.
  3. Why build your team around a Cy Young-winner whom you just signed to a contract extension and who has been with your organization since he was 16 years old and who has established a rapport with your fans?
  4. When you could build your team around a bunch of 20-year-olds who might be really good in four or five years?
  5. When they would be ripe for you to trade them to the Yankees?
  6. It would be good for baseball.
  7. Because what is good for 200 miles of I-95 is good for baseball.
  8. And Seattle is not a baseball town anyway. Something something coffee grunge rain Microsoft funny joke! You have not heard this one before!
  9. So it's a deal, right?
