That's a real slap in the face for the Mariners. He's about their only bright spark in a horror season and not only does he casually ditch the club that gave him a second chance at the big time but he's poached by former club legend Lawrie McKinna, now at arch rivals the Jets. Bound to cause a sharkstorm of bad feelings inside the club too which has already had more than enough of that.

I know there isn't a lot of loyalty in modern pro football but I think if I was a Salty fan I'd feel pretty disappointed in the guy.

It was clear early that he was up to AL standard, they could have re-signed him before the Jets could talk to him. They for told on the 1st December that the Jets were talking to him but didn't try to open negotiations until the end of January. The club put themselves in this situation.

On reddit, CCM fans (and general feedback) is the club fudgeed it up. CCM weren't opening talks so he went and secured his future.

Totally agree with RR on this one.
