Felix Hernandez has echoed the sentiment of Seattle's front office, saying he is "not going anywhere." Trade speculation inevitably surfaces from time to time because the Mariners have finished last in the American League West two years running. At 25-years-old, Hernandez is entering his seventh full season. He signed a five-year, $78 million contract with Seattle last year. "I'm very happy with my career right now," Hernandez said. "I know I'm still young and still can learn something new. I've just got to keep learning and keep doing what I do." Hernandez lives most of the year with his family in Seattle. “I’m not going anywhere, man,” he said. “I’m staying here for a long time.”
