That was new at 1:58.

If we get Beltre, Figgins will either take LF or 2nd base. If he takes 2nd, Lopez would move to first. Resigning Branyan doesn't seem like a priority to them, otherwise they would have given him a two year deal when he declined the 1.

Lopez may be on the way out even if Beltre leaves.

According to mariners.com Figgins agreed to a 4 year deal "Pending Physical"

Yeah, 4 years $36 mill with a 5th year vesting option worth $9 mill.
