Here is my counter argument: I feel like the proposed trade would be a steal and it's not like the Mariners don't have the money to extend him. At this point with how much money the Mariners have free to spend, I see no reason to see contract considerations as any constraint in trade talks.

The reason I like this trade idea is because our offensive output from our catchers was absolutely abysmal and I feel like is one of the biggest areas the team could look to upgrade this offseason.
Yea Lewis hasnt managed a full season worth of games yet and he's the only one you can consider a CF option. Haniger is ideally a DH only and Kelenic really wasnt great in the field either. Julio we expect to be great but that is also unknown at this point. OF is very much a need for meFollowing up on this question (I'd be surprised if this hasn't been mentioned already);
Mariners Tried To Trade For Kris Bryant, Bryan Reynolds
The Mariners' trade deadline endeavors ended up focusing around pitching additions, yet the club also looked into acquiring a pair …
Given this report if Kris Bryant does hit the open market I would be very surprised if the Mariners aren't aggressive in pursuing him.
The Bryan Reynolds rumor I also find very interesting. Divish reported that the Mariners have tried to trade for him twice. To be frank I hadn't heard of him before looking at this rumor, but he looks like he'd be a great acquisition given his age and performance so far. This rumor says they asked for Julio, but I wouldn't trade him for just about anything. Call me crazy, but I'd trade Kelenic for him.
Given this report I'm thinking it's safe to assume the Mariners will be aggressive when it comes to the outfield. Given the fact that we already have Haniger, Kelenic, Julio and Kyle Lewis in the organization, I wonder if this is an indication that the Mariners aren't too optimistic on the long-term future of Kyle Lewis.
Divish clarified that Dipoto had attempted to call Seager but was unable to get in contact with him.
Honestly it doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
My biggest concern about Lewis is that I believe this is like his 4th different knee injury.
Kind of why I hate just headlines. But it still is a shitty thing to do. But we have heard from Kyle’s camp Jerry hasn’t talked to him in X but Jerry disputed that. With all the tears that Kyle and teammates had on the last game did he, his family and representatives expect something more? I really hate the way it all went down and seems massively weird going into a year where they want to “win” you aren’t even attempting to bring back your at minimum 2nd best player.
This is so weird on so many levels. Why is it public, why fire him instead of pushing him out the grounds crews. He had to have cross Jerry somehow, while it isn’t an easy job, the most important role of a clubhouse manager is to essentially be mentally tough enough to be a whipping boy. You get chewed out by players and umpires for decisions you don’t make, you get chew out by management if you don’t “babysit” the players well.

i understand..and..i get it...but to make it to the world series...you need more.than 40 guys...from season..begin..to season end....the more guys you aready have..the better off you are...hence...I'll start with this article I read on lookout landing.
This wouldn't help the immediate future of the team but I definitely think this would be a great move.
agreed..........fraley is up no matter.prob as 4th guy.........but we could be looking at ..trammell...or julio..ROD...if julio...haniger...could CF...
