M's Aquire Cabrera, Re-sign Meche
The Seattle Times
Seattle has needed a DH all year, Bucky wasnt 100% and had a major slump in April, and Chris Snelling doesnt have the power the Mariners are looking for. For Seattle, the solution was in Florida. The M's traded third baseman Scott Speizio, outfielder Chris Snelling, AAA pitcher Aaron Williams and 300,000 cash to the Marlins, for 21 year old slugger Miguel Cabrera. The M's also signed starter Gil Meche to a 3 year, 2.5 million dollar contract extension. Meche is 2-2 this year.

Miguel Cabrera - Outfielder
Age: 21
2005 Stats: .326, 6 HR, 20 RBI, 18 Runs
Cabrera will be a great fit in a already powerful Seattle lineup. Ichiro and Reed bring speed, then Beltre, Sexson, Cabrera and Boone bring the power. Speizio had one RBI in 3 games for Seattle, and Snelling had 3 RBI with a .310 average for the M's in 12 games at DH. Aaron Williams was 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in AAA Tacoma.
