If ESPN's guesses are right, it is going to be an expensive winter and as we know Mariners don't do expensive.

This one surprised me most:

2. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, RHP

2024 Opening Day age: 25

Projected Contract: 7 years, $212 million ($30.3M average annual value)

 

[NWinAZ]

Another prediction:

15. Teoscar Hernandez, RF

2024 Opening Day age: 31

Projected Contract: 3 years, $52.5 million ($17.5M average annual value)

Hernandez is probably the class of this next group of hitters (Gurriel, Candelario, Garver, Soler and Hoskins) and could easily get a fourth year. He has the best mix of performance, power and defensive value in a corner, but the risk points are his contact rate and defensive value on the back end of the contract. If Mitch Haniger can get three years, $43.5 million going into his age-32 season with big durability issues, as he did last winter, then this whole group could clear that number given the lack of everyday bats.

 

[NWinAZ]

42. Tim Anderson, SS

2024 Opening Day age: 30

Projected Contract: 1 year, $12 million

Anderson and Amed Rosario (just missed the top 50) are the two proven starting shortstops who had terrible 2023 seasons and now will likely get one-year deals in order to reestablish themselves. Rosario turns 28 soon, but some underlying stats suggest he could be slowly moving into the utility-type part of his career. Anderson is two years older and his skill set/approach is similar to Rosario's, but his offensive and defensive metrics fell off a cliff so dramatically in the past two seasons that I think a savvy development club with an infield need (Orioles? Dodgers?) could still turn Anderson back into a solid everyday player after a -0.5 WAR disaster season in 2023.

 

[ulmax]

Amed Rosario..one year.is ok.
With..keener- felefa..
Is who.the mariners.need.to re-place..
Moore..it's a big .deal..to have a guy..
Come off the bench..and be able..
To.hit...not..strike out .

 

[ulmax]

And maybe..caballero..or bliss..is ready..
In one year...that would fit..
Falefa..longer..

 

[ulmax]

I think.amed is an.american.league.type..
Hitter..who knows..the pitchers..
While 8n nat.league..he did not know.them.
As well...so did not do as well...

In the playoffs..why..they put Wong in..
He knew the pitchers..
But..
Seattle..is am..league..soooooo.
I've factored in the utility..for amed..
And why..I want him..as well..

Phillies are only giving the $20.325M qualifying offer to Aaron Nola. So no QO for Rhys Hoskins. There’s still a decent chance he could go back there though.

He's done in Philly. Bryce Harper likes being at first base plus management rather have there instead of the OF. Hoskins is a streaky hitter not for the positives and is a below average fielder.

 

[ulmax]

If Seattle cant build a team..
To compete .with....Texas...
Then throw .in the towel..
And go compete..in Japanese..league..

But if so...they will..need..

Bellinger..or the equal....300.hitter.26.hrs..
He is the big one...

We like.and want. snell..and he would.be..
An.other..good one...
2 of the most .expencive..

If they can't get .free agents.
May as well..
Korean .league....
Only little league..is next...maybe no free.
Agents there..either ..
And soccor..moms...not signing permition slips...
Lolololoooóo

 

[ulmax]

If they can't handle..the tall..order..
It's time.to sell the big league..
Ball players..
For prospects .

Kerby.
Castillo .
Gilbert .
Julio..
Raliegh
Robbie ray..
France..
Crawford..
Kelenic

And try again...in 2 years.
And send..morosi..a pet..rock..

 

[ulmax]

Yeah with a mariners uniform..
And a make the.rock look like Stanton..

Lolololo.

Only if they can't get free agents .if they..
Can..all apologies .

I always thought he had a bigger name than performance. I really didn't follow him so I could be wrong on that. If it is true, then he will be a Mariner...lol.

So we are getting Toro back???

 

[NWinAZ]

Bleacher Report (I Know) did their predictions on Soto trade. They listed Mariners at #2 favorite. Here is their trade package:

1. Trade Package: RHP Emerson Hancock, OF Jonatan Clase, 1B/3B Tyler Locklear for Juan Soto
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

 

[NWinAZ]

The Athletic also ranks Mariners (Cubs & Giants) as 1 of 3 teams for Alonso.

During one of his on-air hits this week for MLB Network, Morosi mentioned an intriguing trade candidate for the Mariners: Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Díaz, who led the American League in batting average and hit a home run in the All-Star Game at T-Mobile Park.

“I said, ‘Hey, just a quick question here. Who would say no if the Rays said, OK, Jerry Dipoto, we would trade you Yandy Díaz for Logan Gilbert?’ And he said he believes the Mariners would say no quickly to that,” Morosi said. “… So would it be more likely if you looked at Bryce Miller or Bryan Woo? Perhaps. I think those are names that are a bit more available. And I would say obviously (George) Kirby is off limits.”
