Spring Training 2024

That’s what the Lockout guys were complaining about, that Jerry didn’t get a fair shot because Moreno just wanted to spend money. But then they say now he has to worth with cheap ass owners. I’m not going to defend the ownership but it’s not like they are the A’s or Rays or Cleveland.

I would compare..them to cleveland.
Or the As ..
Not Tampa..
Mariners are better .with pitching.though..
Their..nich...

 

[ulmax]

Fansided.
As.ownership come crawling back to oakland.with Vegas move in doubt..

As may need Oakland to survive .
Oh how the tables have turned..

I have been there Oaklands. fan base.
And is comitted...

And all.
The good stuff
It's a good fan.base.if they could get .

Their grit together.

 

[ulmax]

Oakland asked for a commitment.from.
MLB.
For an expansion.team if the As.moved.

It was denighed..

Every one..including.me.thinks.
Oakland.
And ownership.should hash.it out.
In oakland..
They are being childish and stupid..

But no one can stop them.from.
Being so...

A move to Vegas is bad business..
No matter how you look at it..

Moveing from the 10th.sports market.
To the 40th.is bad buisness

 

[ulmax]

I would compare..them to cleveland.
Or the As ..
Not Tampa..
Mariners are better .with pitching.though..
Their..nich...

In terms of market place..comparing.seattle.to.As.would.be.
Right..
But the situation .is different..
With stubborn.. ass ..owners.in.oakland.

Problems with Snell...
Boris..is agent...wanting..30mm.a year.
Snell.
Is not worth.that..20.or 25...yeah..
Snell.
13pct walk rate. And only a 130 innings.
A year.(.180-to200 innings would be worth 30 mil.)
Is proof .of his lower value...

That said .snell.is.good..and a cye young
Winner...
Just not a cye young without problems.

2 years only out of all the years

.Snell had 180.innings pitched last year..was 180..
So ok.

So I may go with.25..but not 30 being the worth..
Of Snell .
Chances are he will. Not cye young again...

If he does he will be auto.
Hall of Fame..

 

[ulmax]

Incedentally..both times snell.pitched..
180.inninings he won.the cy young.
With low eras..

But everything in between.is a 130.innings..
Making.him worth in the middle..at 25mil..

It is how it is..he is still cy young.

Could Seattle use that...
Of coarse..180.or 130..either one..

But they have no money..for it.

 

[ulmax]

Seattles total active payroll 124mil
Retained.
White..4.5 mil.
Desclafani..8mil..
==12.5 mil.

Geustimated. .projected .132.6.mil.
Spotrac..

Cots contracts often.has a bit diff
Numbers
But ya get the idea..

 

[ulmax]

Seattle has never been over 157mil.
174 mil cb tax..

For reference..
Yeah that is ever .
This year projected by cots cb.tax..

Oops that is 2023..numbers.
Is 183.mil.
Actual.is.137..mil

 

[ulmax]

Cots is projecting..139.mil..40 man year.
End.
155.cb tax .
The diff is not.a lot..


If they wanted.to..could they afford Snell..
Sure if they wanted to ....at 25mil.

But they don't....

 

[ulmax]

Top 10bteams payroll 2024..
Spotrac.

1 nyy...274
2mets..231
3 Houston.236
4 Phili..236

5.tor.......220

7.tex...215
8.la dodgers...199.
9.chi cubs...165
10.stliuis..... 159.
11.boston...133.
12.LA.Angels..151.

These are starting numbers not yet.
Ready...pre..numbers.

Texas will likely go over.
As Houston has..

Seattle showing.111.mil.
So we know that is not right.
I see plus retained.
Is 124 mil..

 

[ulmax]

League ave 147 mil...
Keeping up with the Joneses number..

Tex is at 215 no retained..they may be.
Ok..
But they have not much to spend.
15 mil..
And there draft pick.is ..toast..

 

[ulmax]

Likely that retained..is stopping Seattle .
From getting snell.at.25mil..

111.
25.
.......
136..mil..

Levon .likes his money ...he makes.a lot.
They say.

[ulmax]

Sodo mojo as.johnny come latly..

On max Chapman..

What better .than Louis urias is Chapman.
Plus Rojas..
He is not...

Chapman is 240 bat ave..at best..fld 974.

I'm intrigued by urias 976Fld.
that he put up

In Boston...so Chapman is not better.
Not as young .
And urias is not a free agent

Rojas 270..
Urias .240.

End it sodo mojo

 

[ulmax]

Sodo mojo .no homework..
Mariners did there's .
When they got urias..

Smack down....sodo mojo..

 

[ulmax]

I'm going with.urias ...and good young.
Defense..
And should be .good enough hitting..from.
Urias as well...

If urias 2o.hrs.
Rojas..10..

What better .is chapman.than 30..hrs.
Yes he can and does hit 30 hrs
But last year.only 17..

The cracks are showing..

Basically a massive gaping hole at 3rd. Chapman is meh and Urias sucks.

Lololo..conventional wisdom..says that.
Is true ..
But then..so does chapman. For the price.

 

[ulmax]
