at Ackley putting up a Ichiro impression, where did this hitting come from?

Source says#Mariners are "out" on Marlon Byrd. Still some legs to rumblings linking Byrd &#Yankees but Yankees wary of 2016 vesting option
This is pretty spot on from what I've read.Probably something about Byrd being able to get gauranteed money regardless if he's with the Yankees in 2016 or not.
Vesting means essentially being gauranteed to receive compensation for previously negotiated terms or a contract, regardless if you were to quit or not. Im simple terms...If I hit 3 years with my current employed then I'm fully "vested" in their matching contributions when I quit. Meaning I get that money. If I left the company before that 3 year mark, then I don't get any of that matching contribution.
Im not sure if that's what you wanted to know or not, but I'm not 100% certain if it means the same exact thing in baseball terms.
Who knows, you would think some significant progress would need to be made with Jack Z in a lame duck yearSafe to say Jack Z is gone if no more moves are made by 1pm?

Very fluid but hear#Mariners' top preferences are Rios and Zobrist; Bonifacio and Denorfia are backup plans….about three hours to go.
I dont think anybody wants Kemp and his contractI want Kemp god damnit!
