Mitch Haniger

[NWinAZ]

I know we have talked about Haniger and if he will be back. I heard this today and it adds to what we all have been talking about. Dovish days say he turned down a Mariners offer and I was wrong for that, kind of. That offer came in the offseason after the 2018 season. I was talking more about in the last couple years and not early on. So I apologize for being wrong but with an asterisk lol.

Good listen:

A good projection by one site:

A deal like what OF David Peralta received from the Arizona Diamondbacks at the same age and after similarly high level rate production when healthy could be a framework: three years, $22 million. As that was signed after the 2019 campaign, it could look a bit more expensive, maybe in the $25-28 million range, but it’s likely enough Seattle wouldn’t regret any deal that paid Haniger millions in the single digits per season. It’s possible that even is higher than it might take, as the going rate for corner outfield sluggers over the age of 31 with defensive limitations has simply not impressed in free agency in recent years. Tommy Pham, Adam Duvall, Adam Eaton, Robbie Grossman, Kole Calhoun, Cameron Maybin, and Eric Thames are a few examples from the past few offseasons of solid performers who only recouped nine figure AAV deals.

The equation has changed for the Mariners and a Mitch Haniger extension

Before the season, it seemed Haniger might be playing his final season in Seattle. Now, the M’s would be wise to keep that from being the case.

The reality is this offense is alot worse without Mitch Haniger. If you let him walk, it likely means you are banking on Kelenic/Lewis which man please dont

I truly believe it is not a matter of 'letting him walk'. I believe it is him turning and walking out the door. Things can change. Maybe a deep run in the playoffs and/or no other good offers changes his mind, but the ball is in his court. Should be fun to watch this winter.

The voices would be loud if haniger leaves the team and they do nothing in the off-season to replace his productivity.

I get your pont, but outside of a few of us on here not many sound off. We are a kinder, gentler sports state.

What. You get..if haniger..is healthy..
Is a RF that hits between..270
and..250 =260...and hits 40 hrs..
If not healthy...who knows..
But he came back...as he left..
It seemwd...to me...so..
That..is what..i would expect..
In building a team...with H aniger
So those numbers
.are the price.
..i would expect....

If you can..take money off..for future injurys...no one does that..

 

[ulmax]

Of all the guys mentioned..
Only...dubal...is even in the class..
That H aniger is in
No not duval ..as he only has 12
hrs..ok.

None of them....someone got the
wrong idea..of what H aniger
. Is.

 

[ulmax]

Haniger..is more..and bettter..than Buxton
who is 2nd amoung oitfielders

 

[ulmax]

If H aniger is healthy..you have the 2nd
best..RF/DH...hittter..in the league
i think..that..should be undisputed.

But obviously will..be..
With only judge..
Being better..

The thing is..the ..marines have a chance..to get..conforto..as well
who may be in the top 5..
Then..it does not mater..
.as much...about..hanigrer..
But still...ya want...both..

Then ya pay

.Castillo
. H aniger
C onforto
Frazier...will be the kind of cheaper..
Those guys are thinking of...
With possible
..better production..in..his 2nd year
In the American league

 

[ulmax]

Crawford would be up..to get payed next
all those guys..are guys the mariners need..
But
Could go with a 2b..from..AAA
through trade..but ..
Frazier would do..for now

 

[ulmax]

Bae..is a top middle infield..who may be
able to save the 8 mil..of a fraxier..
Hitting 300..at AAA..east

Pirates..org..
Seems to me they want to..save..in the wrong place..

 

[ulmax]

H aniger.
. Sells tickets.....duval..not that much

 

[ulmax]

With toro
Back prob next year

A bae trade..and or even a Garcia trade
With wash..
Mariners..would save..as much..

But for know..it s playoffs or bust...

Kind of an issue is that Dipoto kind of has to sign him and Mitch has all of the leverage. I firmly believe that players don’t like Jerry as a person which is why he struck out on every offensive free agent. In two consecutive off-seasons you can’t run off your best offensive players and somehow expect free agents to come.

 

[ulmax]

Here is the real thing.
If san fran..dodgers..mets and Yankees would pay..haniger...25m
Which is about right...20..at verry least

Then mariners...must do the same..
Or better..

If you can't resign your own...guys..
Seattle is right back...where..
They have been all..along...lossers

And..everyone is watching...this
one to see how they will get treated

 

[ulmax]

Look at phili...for example of looser
imo..well karch...you know..aaahh
Lololo
A guy I knew from phili...

Bryson harper..

And p hili is not that bad ..still..
Playoffs.maybe

 

[ulmax]

World searies...i don't think so
But ya never know..for Phili

But haniger..is is good..for the next
6 to 8.
.and his best..will be..in the next 4..
Imo..

 

[ulmax]

Only way mariners are ok..with out him
is if .
white starts hitting like..haniger..

I don't see that..in 2023

At best.white..could backup..1st base..
Of the bench..

.

 

[ulmax]

Fan graphs calls Mitch haniger..

A best buy...i suppose that..is true

25mil..for 4.imo..baring injuries..
.
