It appears as if Figgins will sign a 4 year 36 million dollar deal with the Mariners.  The little guy ends up not leaving the division...

This note from MLB Trade Rumors about the Angels trying hard to trade Gary Matthews Jr. made me chuckle... Matthews, 35, hit .250/.336/.361 in 360 plate appearances for the Angels this year, playing all three outfield positions. Between the contract, Matthews' loss of power, and his questionable defense, he has strong negative value.  Without the contract, what would Matthews fetch on the free agent market?  Maybe one year, $1-2MM?
