Ok trade ya honus wagner......lololol
I get your point, but if a 21 year old gets disgruntled because his contract isn't ripped up and replaced with a mega deal after 100+ games of his career then I would question that players motivation and future. That isn't Julio. Again, these deal will have no impact on the future unless M's ownership uses it as an issue. Good for Julio. Good for Evan White. Poor old Kelenic.
this is my thought as well. Worst case scenario you are paying a guy $15 mil year for a while which isnt a back breaking amount by any means or he earns more. Mariners havent done a lot right but they hit a home run here.So far this seems to be a steal for Jerry. I don’t think there is any more amount of praise I can give Jerry.
The only negative for this contract is Julio. If he performs like the Mariners expect this contract to be then in his year 26 season he is a 40 million dollar year player and by 30 he is a 50 million dollar player. If he collapses then it is what it is. A trade in his prime with net a shit load of prospects for him. He is ROTY this year and without April he is in the AL MVP convothis is my thought as well.

Enough money left over to sign Judge in the offseason.
They have plenty of money and will resign him 100%. Before Jerry made the trade he 100% got the blessing from Stanton and Co. to resign him to near max deal. Going into next year i think on paper this far on paper they aren’t a top 10 in terms of salary when they have Suarez, Ray, Julio, Crawford and Marco. They have plenty of room to extend Castillo, bump Munoz and sign two max free agents.More realistically, I hope it leaves some room to make a substantial offer to extend Luis Castillo. He seems to really like it here based on his interviews so far.

Highly outside chance that Raleigh could win ROTY but if he does it would throw a monkey wrench into the mix but a great monkey wrench where Ford is tradeable for a 2B, 3B or a LF. In RF they either resign Haniger or that spot is Kelenic’s. Dude has to click in the bigs, otherwise with his numbers a statue will be built for him at Cheney with his stats there.
My bad then. How did he have enough bats to be considered not a rookie?
