2026 Mariners Spring Training

[NWinAZ]

He's definitely a little on the hefty side but he plays a spot that can get very active which in turn can cause some minor injuries. He'll get his rest when needed cause we need his glove out there.

Yes that is why I worry about him. A lot of quick movements which lead to tweaks. Again, maybe I am over thinking it.

Still don't get why Randy's still on this team. Some team would have traded a middling prospect for him and that would have been fine.

Ya I would be happy to deal him for whatever. Too bad dumping his salary on to another team is not much of a factor at this point in the offseason since there really isn't anyone to spend it on. Maybe deal him for a similar contract at a different position. I just don't like his attitude. Remember he had the feud with Yandy Diaz in Tampa.

Tweaks can happen no doubt but i'm worried about the bang bang play and collision. This team doesn't have enough hitters to cover for an extended period of time and that's something that can easily tank the season cause Jerry didn't add much to the lineup.

Yes he's an ass should have been moved. Still waiting on Jerry to make that blockbuster trade.

Looking at Naylor right now in his WBC game, he looks a lot more fit. No baggy uni.

To Phillies for Crawford?

Though a Randy for Bohm would seem more realistic.

Randy to Yanks for Jasson Dominguez and Stanton and $$$.

Cal, loosen the hell up. He looks like trash in his Ab's and missed 2 balls behind the plate that were strikes.

This is the concern I have now that Cal is at the center of “controversy”. He has looked really bad since the whole Randy thing.

Send him to the White Sox. If they come out struggling he may replace ARod as the most hated player in the city.

I like this deal. Put Dominguez in LF when healthy and use Stanton as a DH if healthy.

The healthy part is where I think that would fall apart. Not sure ownership would sign off on a Stanton deal just cause his health. I think the Yankees would have to throw in like $50 million, essentially next years salary and his buyout. Cause not sure if you remember Stanton’s interview when Robbie Ray got brought up but man he sounded disgusted at the idea of paying someone who is injured.

Nice idea but I'm pretty sure Stanton would veto it as is his right as a 10/5 guy.

I’m having a debate about this right now online. Technically that is the opposite field but do we really call it an opposite field homerun? To me, I consider opposite field when it’s the LF’ers ball. If the SS has to dive to his left to get a ball we don’t say the batter hit it the other way.

He is owed $54M for next 2 years and $10M buyout but says Miami owes for the buyout. Randy gets $15.65M. So it is a $38.35M difference. Workable.

For me it is the price you pay for getting Dominguez. Might be time we buy a guy instead of dealing prospects to unload a contract.

That I did not know.

I looked it up:

Contract Notes

• Full No Trade Clause
• Player can opt-out after 2020 (declined)
• 2028 Club Option contains a $10 million buyout
• Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, All Star: $50,000
• MVP: $100,000
• LCS MVP: $250,000
• World Series MVP: $500,000
• Marlins will retain $10M each of 2026, 2027, 2028 per the opt-in

So you are correct, but if he did agree to go the money is even less than I thought with Miami owing about $30M of the remaining contract.

I just wanted Dominguez.

Ya I would call it left-center shot more than opposite field shot.

We are not allowed to have nice things...
