That are not exactly...accurate..

Saying.therebare not spending...
Any more..
Without .saying...they.will..prob.drop

49 mil ..is an..inaccuracy.....the.media..

With trades...

So they don't need Juan..soto..there.playing..it.like..

M's social media already riding the myth that the m's missed the playoffs by 1 game this year.

They were eliminated 3 games out, not 1. And even if you go by the year-end standings, the M's lost any tiebreak against other WC contenders, so it was 2 games out even by that idiotic way to measure it.

Saw that Stanton said they're going to up payroll, but the biggest issue is that no good hitters want to come here. Why would they choose to come here with all of the shit guys say about the batters eye and it being a generally awful park for hitters?

There is only one reason any decent FA comes here: a much fatter contract than they'd get anywhere else. Look at Garver. You really think any team but the M's were even close to offering him TRIPLE what he made in Texas for playing part time? Triple guaranteed for 2 years no less?

Pitching is not going to be able to put out a once in a generation performance next year like they did this year, but they'll be the only thing worth watching in 2025, that's for sure.

Yeah ..there saying .they will prob.
Spend.around..the.same .
But fail.to..
Realize..they will be dumping..
Around 49..Mil...

Yeah .they prob not in .on soto..
But..
They.dont need..to be...
They
Have.

Gilbert..
Kirby.
Castillo..
Miller..
Woo..

They are the team..who can deal .
With .less..
Offence...but still need..more offence..

Cris williams ..1B free agent

Louis ..Garcia....2b..
Seattle may not be able to talk.nay bats.
Into..it.no.matter..
But.
With .say...Hancock...and logan.evans.
They.may ..with polanco .,garver.
May even..throw.in.more..

But wash...needs pitchers ..
Reason..they.dfaed..Robles..
Was..they..have..a new..cf..

Well and they thought him..done .
Of coarse ...

At any rate. seattle..should..49..mil...
At some rate

 

[ulmax]

They prob won't..be getting..Ozuna.
Or.
Rooker...

But they can deal with it..in some..
Fashion ...for a 3rd and 4th. Hitters

I'm not sure of ..so we will have to wait for..

 

[ulmax]

That said .the increases in.arb.shouldvputvthem..
Right around..league..ave..160.mil..

I'm ok with..that..if they.can.fill..

I would trade Castillo for a bat in a heartbeat.

Yep. It would have to be a good bat, but, yep. I'd do it. Castillo is almost 32 years old and he showed some signs of slowing down this year. Now might be the time to pull a preemptive strike and trade him.

 

[PolarVortex]

I know
.right...I think..the same thing ...
And only ..have ..one.solution....
That makes. Sense...and would fit...

Louis Garcia...2b..for .Hancock .
Logan Evans...polanco..and garver ..

Free agent .Cristian walker ...sign..

1b ..2b ...

Ss Crawford.../moore
3b .Rojas ../Moore .for now .
.
Leaving..dh .to.unkown...and.#4...
Or Garcia as dh
With more.2b..from.someware


That's as much .as I could .think..of.
Otherwise...

.I'm tapped .out.

I like the Garcia idea. Just don't give up too much for him. I think Hancock is too much. Starting pitching is gold these days, even guys like Hancock.
I don't like the Christian Walker idea. He'll be 34 years old at the start of next season. I don't like the idea of bringing in a guy that old to play half of his games at T-Mobile. Look at what happened to Haniger and Garver.

 

[ulmax]

That.is.most.years..iv..seen..it stay cloudy.
Threw .July..before..how often that happens...I don't know..
But ya may need...
A.weather..guy..for the mariners..

 

[ulmax]

Yep. It would have to be a good bat, but, yep. I'd do it. Castillo is almost 32 years old and he showed some signs of slowing down this year. Now might be the time to pull a preemptive strike and trade him.

I would be ok with that ...
And ..Garcia..LHP...is the guy .to .bring..
Up..next .
With Mercedes..at Tacoma..

 

[ulmax]

Leaving..

Jimmy Joyce..
Alcantara....LHp
Blase castano..
Van scoter ..LHp..
Micheal .Morales .

At Arkansas ...amazingly .
They still have enough ....lolololo

I don’t think you really need to cut Garver though. His season this year was more than fine for a backup catcher but only a backup catcher.

Not a single contending team this year who wouldn't have cut him halfway through this season. He's a complete waste of a roster spot. Period. There isn't a contending team out there who would add him to their roster even if they could do it for 100% free.

I'm sure they'll keep him. So people who think it's acceptable to keep him on a 26-man roster in any capacity will be happy . Stanton won't flush $!2 million down the drain.

Houston ate $20 million this year and another $20 million next year by DFA'ing Abreu. They value every roster spot and try to maximize it. That's a winning mentality though,, so yeah, the M's will hold onto Garver for dear life and justify not at least trying to replace his roster spot with something productive because of that $12 million investment.

I'm betting Ford will be on the roster to start the year anyway, so there's no excuse to even keep a giant turd like Garver as a backup catcher. Well, unlesss one of Stanton's/Jerry's "moves" is to trade Ford. Wouldn't put that past them as justification for keeping dogshit Garver. You've got Cal locked up for a couple more years after all.

Again, this is bare minimum stuff to show a real desire to contend. There is no argument against it.

 

[ulmax]

That said..a guy we have been missing.
Cuz of t.j..could.be..back.
At Tacoma ..
Taylor Dollard

That is my guess. Is they are unable
To..get ride .if one .of the .
4.contracts..my guess has been..hanigers..
(..turner.gone already..13 mil)

Cuz backup catchers can't hit.anyway..
Mostly .
But garver .can.(.15hrs).and natbats are not.
A playoff.team...anyway...

But Garcia .hits at least .270..most of the year .he was .hitting..290..

Mariners..eat some of garvers con..
2or 3.mil..yeah prob .

 

[ulmax]

Ford.could..but..should...i don't.know..
If any .tacoma .
Hit 250...at..Arkansas....

And I would rather .wait .for..
Batista .or charpping ..to..push him..out..
Of ark...
1st...
Or he just .hits 300..to move.on..or.27o..
I know..


Anchia..cant hit..and would rather..
Have him at Tacoma..and Ford at..
Arkansas.
Catchers..are .funny ...Cal went.to...
Florida .state. Hes older..

 

[ulmax]

But there are catchers..to be had..
In the off-season....
So..it's just..whatever..the mariners want..

And cuz .catchers .are funny.like.that.
Ill
Just let.them take care of it..
I doubt it's Ford..
Yet ...but..it would be soon though.
