Buzz: M’s offer Silva a 4-yr Deal
According to Charley Walter of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the 
Royals have offered RHP Carlos Silva a three-year deal worth $30 million.
Silva was 13-14 with a 4.19 ERA in 33 starts with the Twins in 2007.
Last week, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported the Cardinals also expressed interest in the 28-year-old Silva.
…ever since silva hit the open market this offseason, i’ve been in favor of the Mets signing him…silva ,more times than not, has provided a quality start – 20 of 33 last season – and although not a power pitcher, he does strikeout twice as many as he walks…
…the concern is, he does have a propensity to give up the long ball, roughly one per start, but with a move to the lighter-hitting national league, and a bigger ballpark such as shea, those numbers could greatly improve…
…Update…1:10 pm…
The Mariners are in ‘serious negotiations’ with Silva on a four-year, $44 million contract, according to ‘major league sources,’ writes Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports.com.
