Figure it would make sense to create a new thread specifically dedicated to the offseason. This offseason will be incredibly monumental both for the team's immediate and long-term future.

To give a little context going into this offseason...

The Mariners currently have the 2nd best farm system in baseball per MLB.com and per Ryan Divish this is what our payroll situation will look like:

"If the Mariners decline Seager’s option, they will pay him a $2 million buyout, while Kikuchi could exercise his player option for 2022 and receive a $14.5 million salary. Even if Kikuchi exercises his player option, Seattle would still have only $30 million in MLB contract commitments. If you add in a conservative projection amount of $25 million for club controlled and arbitration eligible players for the rest of the 40-man roster, it leaves about $55 million in payroll commitments."

To give that a little more perspective, the team's 2021 payroll was estimated to be between $82m to $104m depending on the source. The $104m number I trust more because that number was calculated by a guy who is insanely dedicated to following the Mariners payroll, literally down to the day. To give that a little more context, the Mariners spent $170m in 2018, which would be $185m adjusted for inflation.

The Mariners have a minimum of $49m in payroll to add this offseason to match the $104m they spent in 2021. If you're willing to be more generous and use the 2018 payroll (adjusted for inflation) the Mariners should have $130m in payroll space. My expectation is that Dipoto gets green lighted to spend somewhere in the middle of those two which gives us a lot of flexibility.

There will be no excuses for the Mariners not to go all-in this offseason with more money to spend than just about every team in baseball and the second richest farm system in baseball.

If you're Dipoto, where do you start?

my calculation...maybe ..not the best.....but...
..Marcus Semien...20 mil..??...tell me if im off......lol
Noah Syndergaard................................20 mil...with numbers contract...up to.30 mil..would be one of the best pitchers..in MLB........top 5..you get what you disurve......by the numbers...........it is fair......

Five key questions for A's entering offseason​

October 11th, 2021

Martín Gallegos
@MartinJGallegos

OAKLAND -- Despite their absence from postseason play for the first time since 2017, the A’s do not believe their window of World Series aspirations has closed just yet.
It is reasonable to feel like these A’s are not too far off from a postseason run. Though they ended up third in the American League West, they remained close contenders in the Wild Card race up until the final three days of the regular season. Finishing 86-76, 2021 was the first season in which the A’s posted a winning record and did not reach the playoffs since 2005.

“To be totally honest, we’ve always felt like, to really make big investments long term, we’re gonna have to have the answer to our venue,” Beane said. “We just don’t have one. What we do know is that we will continue to be in Oakland for [a few years]. Do we see a significant announcement in terms of a [contract] extension, I would say that’s probably unlikely right now because of the [stadium] uncertainty.”

non rotation starters............this is the last..i have till some thing actually happens...thanks ...but i went a bit far.so i will have to .....apoligize
but before i do...lets get into......

non rotation starters......

Yusei Kikuchi 18...the most important...between..spring and the all star break.........cuz kuchi....seems to go south after that........i would rather not give him more than 10 starts..
.so i could use him out of the bull pen...after that....paxton should be ready...by then
...in case...paxton is not ready...or anyone else....

back up..to the back up..(assistant to the assistant..)
Justin Dunn 35...dont listen...to my........... coviting of the ..SS....Geraldo Perdomo 2..arizona is unlikely..to trade him..anyway...and he would be verry expencive..........still the mariners may trade dunn but i will still put him here

Matt Brash 47

Justus Sheffield 33...a much more likely..trade..one that arizona likes.......Seth Beer 28..and a minor league..ss for modesto.....easy peasy...

that is really it...
the tacoma rotation..is after these guys.....

now for the......... my apologies

 

[ulmax]

also and still..the mariners are not...100 pct..to sign Tyler Anderson 31...so shefield would be ..in the 6 spot in that case.....the other senario...lol

 

[ulmax]

one more thing....even though.....this is the guy..the mariners need......tearing him away from Boston..........would be hard.....till next year..
then .......the mariners would have to out bid...boston.....ouch.......
