2021-2022 Mariners offseason/free agency thread

[ulmax]

i think that could /or would be the ..best team seattle could come up with....but if is it does not happen..in a good way....i will just...

dream on

 

[NWinAZ]

 

[NWinAZ]

Take a look M's:

 

[ulmax]

maybe i took the wrong take......lol..cuz he did say..they have a bench ...already......ill take my medicine..and say...i was mostly..wrong..on this one..
but here is jerry(..jedi)..depoto...and scott

 

[ulmax]

my fav..free agents..this season....im off on yan gomes...though...unless they sign..Max Scherzer 31...cuz gomes has cought him before

Kyle Schwarber 18.........dh/of..L/L..he is going to the series with boston..so having someone who has been there helps.
Marcus Semien 10..............SS/2b....simien...has virsitility....................................and 45 hrs this year

for me either will do as ace for the mariners...i hope one of these guys........dicides..to be a mariner
Max Scherzer 31............
Noah Syndergaard 34

but only one...can be.......

 

[ulmax]

while those guys are my fav free agents ...they may not be available....which means...maybe they tryed and failed ..cuz the player has a choice...
of where he wants to play...
or they wanted someone else.......
scott says they will add though...to pitching...........where he does not know
jedi......... says they will keep moore....so ok......im actually ok with that..says giles will be ready...nothing on pax though..im good wth there bull pen as well..even down to tacoma..which..is how it needs to be...

the bench so far
Cal Raleigh 29
Dylan Moore 25
Jake Bauers 5.........1B/of......L/L
.Donovan Walton 8..2b/ss...L/L...dont make any mistakes....he is one of the best hitting ss/2b..in the minors ...last year.

Jerry Dipoto addresses how Mariners may find a fit in SS free-agency class

The Mariners have a shortstop, so why would they be interested in one of the big name free agent shortstops? Jerry Dipoto sheds some light.

[ulmax]

“And there’s some of those guys that already have done that in their career,” he continued. “Guys like Semien and Báez have done that, and that kind of selflessness is a big deal for us.”

yeah..........and those guys are the only 2 guys on my list....but...jedis....... list is prob a lot longer...but those are the best guys to me anyway....

mariners need HRs..and......Semien..can do that(45) ......so he is my top choice.....plus...he is west coast...........went to cal....im good with that part as well.

BRENT STECKER​

The potential Mariners free agency targets to watch in MLB playoffs​

mariners..could ..go after.....taylor......but im not sure...

• OF/IF Chris Taylor, Dodgers

You know what would be a good way to help Mariners fans get over the trade that sent Taylor to the Dodgers the year before he became a breakout player in the big leagues? Bring him back.

The 2021 All-Star would fit quite nicely on Seattle’s roster – or any roster, really – due to his incredible positional flexibility. He capably plays every position in the field except pitcher, catcher and first base, and he wields one of the best bats in the league for a utility player.

The Mariners showed in the second half of 2021 that when given the opportunity, they like to play the matchups with their lineup. Taylor would fit right in with that mentality.

maybe if they dont get ...the top 2 choices for ace...then ..maybe,,Greinke.........but the rest of the guys..on the list...i dont think fit......
• SP Zack Greinke, Astros and SP Eduardo Rodríguez, Red Sox

Though Greinke is also a former Cy Young winner, he is a little older than Scherzer and hasn’t maintained the same level of dominance. He’s still a very good rotation piece, however, and would be a strong addition to Seattle’s pitching depth. The same goes for Rodríguez, who at 28 would fit right in with the Mariners’ young core. Greinke has made just one appearance in relief this postseason while Rodríguez made two starts in the ALDS against the Rays.

and really i dont think greinke does either..cuz he is missing starts

 

[ulmax]

yeah..jerry said he had bench guys already..so i dont expect him to go taylor.....but ya never know.....
what i would exoect is a SS/2B...at tacoma...........or 2....from a trade...and ..maybe...a guy like.......

Alfonso Rivas 67...CUBS..40 man...for tacoma...so that..is a lot already.....for trades...........cuz..i think they can handle..maybe 2..or 3 most..just depends....
anyway....rivas profile

Alfonso Rivas #67​

• 1B
• B/T: L/L
• 5' 11"/190
• Age: 25

• Draft: 2018, Oakland Athletics, Round: 4, Overall Pick: 113

Seth Beer 28...L/L...1B/OF........is a bit more of a HOOOOT...commodity...with a lot of teams...fans.......but he is on my list as well......
yeah so 2B/ss......x2..at tacoma..then one at modesto..in trades...for me anyway.....plus the guys above..........
modesto could be ramirez...though...we will see....

 

[ulmax]

[NWinAZ]

So the offseason hasn't started yet and we have already lost Ljay Newsome and Shed Long for nothing. I hope Jerry does better than this the rest of the way.

 

[Duders]

maybe i took the wrong take......lol..cuz he did say..they have a bench ...already......ill take my medicine..and say...i was mostly..wrong..on this one..
but here is jerry(..jedi)..depoto...and scott

Scotty and JD's talk is good....but like they say................ACTION speaks LOUDER than words. If JD and Stanton follow through with the plans, 2022 will be an awesome season. Time will tell.
