You're right about the money, but I remember reading a report that said his agent had talked with Mariner owners about moving the fence in and they said no chance. It was apparently said that his pursuit of the all time HR title was going to be more important and he wasn't going to stay in Seattle even if they offered him the same money.

Either way.... Mariners now suck
