Seattle Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi talks about the signing of new Mariners pitcher Carlos Silva, Thursday, Dec. 20, 2007, in Seattle.

No need to tell Carlos Silva how crazy it is that the Seattle Mariners gave him a $48 million, four-year contract. "It is wild. Everything is wild. Wild is having this life," the 28-year-old right-handed sinkerballer said. Silva, 13-14 last season with the Minnesota Twins, finalized a deal that includes a $5 million signing bonus and a $12 million mutual option for 2012 with a $2 million buyout.
