The problem is they make tons of money losing so the ownership simply doesn't care about winning. I don't think they would move the team when its SO successful at making them money. If you give up on them being a real baseball team and see it from the money standpoint the team is doing great...
The owners are getting exactly what they paid for, the team wasn't good enough last year and they shed payroll and made things worse.
The only ones not getting what they paid for are the fans.
If you guys look at it from a money standpoint Servais and dipoto are doing great jobs. the fans show up no matter what. The M's are a business and their #1 goal is to make money and there is no #2 goal and they make tons of money. If anyone expects a winning team this just isn't the place...
The Mariners ownership has had it just how they have wanted it for years. Be slightly competitive and the fans will show up every year and pack the stands even if you don't try to win a ring. The Mariners problem now is they keep blurting this shit out and now the fans are finally starting to...
Yeah they ruined the Seattle Center. It was cool with rides and they should have taken that deal with disney instead of doing what have with the rest of the place. I do like climate pledge though, I've been to a couple of Kraken games and it's a great close up view from anywhere. I took light...
I've been screaming this for years.
The fans that bleed Mariner blue have been conned. The fans want a championship and the team lies its ass off to the suckers fans every year and every year the suckers fans fall in line.
They broke my fandom. I have given up all hope for the Mariners. Its...
I don't think of the Mariners as a real baseball team. They aren't really trying to win and teams like this have broken baseball. You have a bunch of teams not really trying to win but to squeeze everything for a profit. The Mariners are a business not a professional baseball team.
I'm not...
"Dipoto described the moves as making the Mariners’ roster “more complete” than it has been at any point in the offseason and suggested that if the regular season were to start tomorrow, the club would be satisfied with its roster as currently constructed. "
I'll just leave this here.
I should be fair and point out the Mariners players and managers always wanted to win and did the best they could with what they had available, whenever I rant on the team it's about ownership and upper management.
I'll add more to that. I've been going to and watching games and bleeding Mariner blue since I was a little kid.
This season I'll turn 50 years old and have yet to see this team win jack shit. Why do we torture ourselves with this fake ass team who doesn't even try? Its not worth it because...
Fucking sign or trade someone. 1 bat isn't going to do shit and everyone but the scrubbiest of scrubs will be left.
If you can't do that then just fucking fold the team. So you are cheap asses who won't open your wallets, FINE then make some fucking trades because we deserve winning baseball...
What the team has done in the last month or so has proved almost every rant I've had about this team over the years was spot freakin on.
How sad is that? It's not what I wanted. I wanted to see the team win but after watching decade after decade of this team I've always known something smells...
