Chone and Bradley are roommates.They play MLB baseball on their playstations all day.They look at each other and say,Mariners!! High five,down low,then they laugh and laugh and laugh.Since they get paid for not even playing..............Who cares about getting paid 7000 for each pitch,they get millions for staying at home...........
I'm sorry. But if a guy can't spell or prononce his own first name correctly, I have little interest...
Chone who?
The only reason he has/had any value whatsoever is/was his versatility.
Why is this news?He was a loser for us.Leave him out of the local news.
 @grog Its local news because---the article fails to mention the Ms are on the hook for 8 million bucks to this bum.....only if he plays for another team would that money be deducted from the 8 mil the Ms owe him........
I put my money on him hitting .300 again... That usually how it works when they stop off at the Yankee farm team..I mean the Mariners.
 @TheBaldone I got 5k I'd bet against that in a heartbeat......50 ABs min.
Wow still a career .270 hitter after hovering near the Mendoza line in Seattle the whole time he was here. His contract must be off the books too.Â
KOMO you must have really had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for this news story. Who cares where he signed better yet who even cares about it at all!
 @egle They're giving us a chance to throw a gone-away party lol - he's gone and away from SeattleÂ
I wish Chone the best! just a bummer he did't quite work out for us in the long run.
I am just happy he's gone.Glad to see he's still playing also.
There's a sucker born every day.
