People around the league seem to think Schmidt is a slam dunk to sign in Seattle as long as the offer is competitive...
I just don't think in the end the Mariners are going to be willing to guarantee Schmidt the kind of cash he can get elsewhere, which is to say I believe, without any word on it from anywhere else, that if the 4/45 was offered, either the fourth year, or some of that money, is incentive-driven.
