How about the Mariners help us beat the Mariners and the rest of the AL

They just put Ty France on irrevocable waivers, and even though it’s a down year for him, he’s still solid on defense, and heading better than what our 1B have, and worst case is a platoon partner for big Jon. Beyond that, he’s been in the playoffs with them, it would only cost a prorated portion of his $6M contract, and would be poetic for him to light it up for us.

I don’t mean this to be an every time someone is waived we should get them thing, like the Dodgers waving Paxon, but I think with budget and everything else, it makes sense.
