Nothing to lose..on that one..
Everything..to gain.

Alex wood signs..with dodgers
Not too surprising..

Mariners should..step on the gas with teijuan walker..

Offer a good contract..with incentives of coarse..lol

Those were..the best two..that
Fit
now..it is down to one..

Wood was one of the guys in the next tier that we were supposedly gonna end up with.

But at $4mill a year probably too rich for our blood

Walker probably wants to sign with a team that has a better chance of winning . Hard to look good pitching for Mariners when trying to make comeback .

Wow. This offseason just got wild with the news of MLB investigations into the astros cheating.

First, MLB suspended hinch and gm for 1 year. Followed by owner firing them.

alex cora (then bench coach, now manager red sox) and carlos beltran (then player, now manager mets) are heavily implicated in the scandal. Expect ‘harsh’ punishment for cora. None for beltran because he was a player in 2017.

 

[mcnabb7542]

Yeah but our next manger just got fired! Talk about a plan coming together!

Mariners hire Kyle Torgerson as new Head Athletic Trainer, announce full High Performance Staff

The 33 year old Edmonds native and UW graduate takes over the lead of a team without a single player his senior.

The Mariners announced their full High Performance Staff today for the 2020 season, including the hiring of new Head Athletic Trainer, Kyle Torgerson. The 33 year old Torgerson grew up in the area, graduating Edmonds-Woodway High School where he was first-team All-WesCo South 4A as a catcher. After two years of studies and ballplaying at Bellevue Community College, he completed his bachelor’s degree in physiology at the University of Washington, following it with a master’s degree in athletic training at Weber State University. Torgerson went straight into baseball upon his final graduation, working in the the Royals’ Rookie-level Idaho Falls affiliate before beginning seven years of ascension through the ranks in the Diamondbacks organization. He spent 2019 as the Assistant Athletic Trainer for Arizona’s MLB club.

With Torgerson in the fold, 2019 Head Athletic Trainer Rob Nodine moves to the position of Senior Athletic Trainer, marking the second year of the organization shifting their head trainer to a still-involved - and possibly equally or more important - but off-field role. Longtime Head Trainer Rick Griffin also remains involved, as Trainer Emeritus. If it’s good enough for popes and professors, it’s good enough for the Mariners.

The rest of the department is predominantly unchanged or internally promoted. Of the 35 positions, just eight are new hires, and all but two - Torgerson and new Performance Specialist Assistant Coordinator Jeff Mathers - are minor league affiliate Trainers and/or Performance Specialists. The Modesto Nuts will have two new faces in Aric Quinney at Athletic Trainer and James Buckley at Performance Specialist. West Virginia Power’s staff is also brand new, with Dan LaBerry at Athletic Trainer and Joe Murray at Performance Specialist. Brennan Mickelson is new on the Everett AquaSox staff as a Performance Specialist, as is Ryan Mullins in the same role for the Rookie-level Peoria Mariners.

The full list of positions, from the Mariners Blog, can be seen here.

MLB investigating Mariners for stealing signs. Report says they would relay the pitches to their opponents hitters...

Hire AJ for the M's mgr. since he's kind of unemployed at the moment. At least he knows how to manage a team.....

Call me lame but I would rather be the mariners losing or coming short every season than winning and getting caught cheating. Its interesting what logan Morrison said that there are more teams doing this and many players know exactly who they are but with the league making an example out of the astros I'm sure the teams that are doing it are destroying their equipment or formulating another way to do it without getting caught.

 

[ulmax]

Drew smyly...to SF..giants

In a year.where..dominos..fall
Walker..should be next...

Still like..shelby miller..comming out of bull pen..and starting..
He can hit up a 95mph..

Henderson..alvarez..is of interest

Houston..has hit..its high point
And will have trouble making it to the seires..again..without..there pitching..

Oakland..and anahiem..

 

[ulmax]

Worst to 1st? Here are odds it happens this season

M's 4th most likely out of the 6. I guess that suprises me slightly because I'd have them 5th
