Yes. He guaranteed remaining a loser for the rest of his career. The Ernie Banks of pitchers.

No. He might be on a losing team, but he gets paid boatloads and he loves Seattle

    Trick question. If he loves Seattle he is a fool.

    He could be mediocre for years, get paid a ton of money and anytime someone questions his performance just bring up the disastrous 0-12 seasonmagical no hitter of 2012 and the doogsmoogs will want to put up a statue of him in front of the stadium

    I said no because he got guaranteed money before he hit free agency. For a pitcher, that is huge. If the Mariners continue to suck, he will eventually be traded.

    He lit money on fire to stay with a shit tier franchise.

    How did he light money on fire? The Mariners made him the highest paid pitcher two years before he hit free agency. Pitchers get hurt all the time, so securing your money was a good move by him.

    Had he been patient, he would have gotten more from the Yankees.

    He made the safe choice though.

    Winning a division or series >> one perfect game

    Part of why Seattle sports fans suck, everyone will hail Felix as a hero all while giving the mariners a pass for the 10th straight year of losing, oh wait they put a giant video screen in the stadium so it's all good.
