Servais on 710 ESPN says Felix, Aoki and Zunino back today

I think if there was any thought of dealing him now would be the time. His value is likely at its highest. However I don't see it happening. I think they still believe they can compete next year. They will just miss the playoffs and not get a top 10 draft pick like most years.

And I know this is not a popular topic, but if Felix would allow it now is a great time to deal him. He doesn't have the value he once did, but a team like the Dodgers would give up a pretty penny to get him. Love Felix, but it would be a good business move to free up his salary while getting some young guns back. It will never happen because we are the Mariners.

I heard the interview and the Zunino thing is utterly retarded. They are going to go every other game? Ya, that will get his confidence hitting. Just like Adam Moore all over again.

I don't think anybody is going to give us a 'pretty penny' for Felix right now.

Yes they would. His value in a trade scenario is pretty good, M's wouldn't get what they could have a couple seasons ago but he still holds a solid price tag.
Won't happen though

Would love that but would never happen. Seager for Marte, Felix and a top 3 prospect probably still wouldn't be enough to pry Seager from the Dodgers.

Zunino needs to be getting regular playing time. He should still be in AAA.

 

[AceKeptic]

Not exactly the kind of return Felix was hoping to have...obviously...

This one's done.

Dodgers might have lost Kershaw for season so they would overpay. Maybe not Seager, but others. Puig and young SP and ?.

I could be jumping the gun, but his decline in velocity and control makes me think Felix's days of being a sub 3.50 ERA pitcher are done. I'd take just about anything if they took his entire contract.

 

[seahawksfan234]

At least last time when Felix's velocity dropped, he compensated by improving control. Now it looks like his control has regressed with his velocity.

I think a new start on a contending team AND going to the NL might help keep him in the 3.50 range.

Might wanna double check the score

 

[seahawksfan234]

Perhaps. My pessimism is mostly predicated on the fact that even in the games his ERA was down, he looked BAD. Like 4-5 ERA bad.

Just checked the box score (at work so I can't watch it on TV). I see that Zunino homered. Good for him, happy to see him hitting well. He has such massive potential (I almost hate even using that word on here), I really want to see him reach it.

Half of my billable hours consist of spending my time on ESPN and SportsHoopla.

And then Lind homered next inning to tie it. Increasing his trade value is a good thing.

Lind is having a strange season. He's putting up some of the best HR numbers of his career, yet his BA/OBP is tremendously off what his career norm is.
