 Mariners sign Jeff Weaver
Quote:
SEATTLE (AP) -- Jeff Weaver passed his physical on Monday and finalized a one-year contract with the Seattle Mariners worth $8,325,000.
The deal includes $1 million in possible performance bonuses for the 30-year-old right-hander, who last season helped St. Louis win its first World Series title since 1982. He would earn $300,000 each for 180 innings or 28 starts, and 190 innings or 30 starts, and $400,000 for 200 innings or 32 starts.
Weaver also would receive $50,000 if he makes the All-Star team, $200,000 for winning the Cy Young Award and $50,000 for a Gold Glove award. Should the Mariners, who have finished last in the AL West for three consecutive seasons, have an astounding year, Weaver could get $50,000 for being the MVP of the AL championship series and $100,000 for being the World Series MVP.

If Weaver wins the Cy Young Award, I'll go jump in the ocean next Christmas.  |
