I was just about to ask if you heard that. I know of Bichette and like him. Don’t know really anything about Romano but his numbers seem to be better than Brash. But to be fair I did ask that too and basically said if they wanted Gilbert and Ford/Young plus more prospects I think I’d be out too. I also think Gilbert’s value is high…..but, the Mariners need offense desperately almost by any means necessary. Kind of like how we talked about I think they might as well spend their budget on the big name FA pitchers and trade for offense.

With how Young played last year, I really think he has an outside chance of getting called up next year. Granted this is all from other peoples opinion but prospects dude I was listening to basically said Young will be MLB ready next year at the same time Bliss will be. I wouldn’t bank on it by any means but if he does keep up his performance all the disappointment of Jerry pretending Rojas and Urías are everyday starters goes away IMO. I know that is an illogical statement but damnit the Mariners are due to have a HS prospect finally break through like countless other teams have.

I am with you on this. Hard to believe we would balk at a Bo trade over a prospect but I see that. I want Young and Ford to be Mariners. We need hitters and I think they will be in the near future. Why trade them now to only need them later? I would sign the pitch(s) and trade the pitcher(s) or just sign good hitters not great and stretch the lineup. Sign Gurriel Jr or Jung Ho Lee, Hoskins, and Candalario. That doesn't make us the top team, but keeps us in the race and keeps on top prospects in the organization.

Just get .the .hitters. ..mariners..are in
Danger of .having .a..minor league..
Payroll ..
At.90mil..if Gonzales .traded..78..mil..

Basicly ..you could trade .gonzales.to.
White Sox .for .
Jimenez .and still be at 90 mil .

Then sign belenger .and be at
115.mil..
And the expected. Amount.they..
Will spend. .is
140.mil

 

[ulmax]

I'm not saying.they will..sign.amed.rosario...but it would.
Not hurt..
Rosario .is a.ss..so.that.could cause..
A problem..with .Crawford ..
But still..
As far..as defence .and bat ave .
He.is good.for maybe..10.mil..
125.mil..
And they still .have .15.mil.to.spend..
On bull..pen..
LHP...
And a closer .

 

[ulmax]

This off-season is..important.for.
Setting .up..the minor.leagues..
As .well..
For guys incoming.to.the..mariners..
Like..
Anyone.who..is at.AA..
Locklear..
Windash .
Bill.knight..
Johnaton clase..
Cole young..

 

[ulmax]

Any of those guys..could be at..
AAA .by end of season and maybe.
One .
Who..idk..to the marineres..

Just.on numbers..of guys..

 

[ulmax]

There is no
Jimenez..or bellinger .
In the minors system....
Anywhere close..
To mlb..so it's no..big .to.trade..
And sign..

. Then...
Even Snell...could.
Fit..for .just a bit .extra .

 

[ulmax]

No..Locklear .is more.of a Santana..

 

[ulmax]

I dont care if bellinger hits it hard
In t- mobile..cuz mariners play..
In every park in the league .as well..
So ..
So what..
Jimenez .is the hard..hitter .anyway..

 

[ulmax]

Julio..and.bellinger..and..kelenic..
Sounds good to me..

Yeah I don’t know. There are so many ways they could go this offseason. But first and foremost is they have sky rocket the budget. They don’t have to reach the luxury tax but there isn’t a reason the team shouldn’t be a top ten payroll. I guarantee when they come out with those skewed stats of revenue and profit the Mariners baseball team is going to have made a huge profit. Not counting the money they made from Root Sports and all the bars and restaurants they purchased around the stadium.
