Mariners 2023 - 2024 offseason thread

[ulmax]

Part of the problem is mariers minors.
Had to be complete..overhaul..and had never.
Been..overhauled.before ...
So.they..started..with.pitching.....it worked .
Then at were. Locklear .is and cole young..
They started with hitting ..
Hopefully..it works..as well..
.but..it's just a shot away....

 

[ulmax]

Yeah after 20 years. You would think .they would.have.tons.of prospects..but that was.
Not the case ...

 

[ulmax]

Yeah. I know. Othani..could go else where..
But..mariners..have to be in..on him..as last
Time ..for the big bat ..
So..they. should..be in on Snell..as..well.
Yes .they could use .both .
And they don't need..trade..any..of there good.
Pitchers ...
.
Just. Add .
Amed Rosario..2b.
Carlos..Santana ..1b and there .almost good .
A good free agent catcher.

But. A trade.like..jimenez..would.be important..
But a #3.hitter..like..othani..is just what..
Is needed.after.that...

 

[ulmax]

The media. Assumes .we..want..
Our nose. Shoved in it again..we do not ..

And mariners..don't need st louis....
To beat .the rangers either.

 

[ulmax]

I have .this to say...they don't share..
There championships ....
With .Seattle...
So..
Seattle..does not want .to share .there..
Good..pitching...

Makes sense .to..me...

Witch .is know .how..I see the rest .
Of the league...for seattles. Bad .pitching.

 

[NWinAZ]

So anyone that wants to argue Mariners are aggressive but guys just won't come here, listen to a MLB player that did want to come here. And he is a pitcher. SMH.

 

[ulmax]

Where..the.mariners..where..
Being...mizers..then..I don't think
They can...afford to ..know...
They..can..go..through..the season..
Till..ray..gets ...back....
With .7...pitchers...
But less. ..is a mistake..

 

[ulmax]

People think ..the mariners..can..
Just .whip..out .good .pitchers..
And trade them.away..
They can.not...

Kerby...
Gilbert...
Woo..
Brash...
Are just to good..to throw away .
They.need..miller...and hancock
At least..till ..ray..gets .back...
I would not say they.

need Gonzales ..but they.may..anyway..
Cuz ya need ..8..
Woo is a bull..pen..guy....
Give me a break...

 

[ulmax]

Jimmy..Joyce ..
And maybe .
Van scoter .are bull pen guys as well...
Even though..they will rotation.at
Arkansas..

Mercedes..I think .is rotation..
We will .have.to see..who..is next...
At Everett...
This year. To know .

They will have a load of new .bull pen guys..
At arkansas.as well ..

I'm..wating to see .how good. They are

 

[ulmax]

So .trading..more..bull..pen.guys..may.be..
1 or 2 years away...
There is no time to waist...cuz there good .
Rotation guys...are gitting no younger .
And anything .less. .than..league ave..
(Within .reason .if coarse .)..
Will be seen....by the fan base...
As .
Throwing..there. Money .at..ownership..
For nothing...
( No .return...on investment .for..fans )

 

[ulmax]

There are no..Gilbert's.or.kerbys...
In..the mariners .minors..at this time..
Except ..
Maybe ..drafted guy..from..wake forest..
That we know..of ...
There maybe some ..

Basicly .this. Is what fans are crying about..
116 mil .is the number .for.2024..

165 mil..is league..ave..to fans...
Paying there money..at . the gate..or t.v..
Year after year..

They want a winner....they think .
They..deserve .it for the money...
And attention..they have.payed...over..the years.. .

Say...no....and you lose .them...to..
Sit and spin..
Or .fantasy..football ..or whatever .

5o mil..to..spend. who do.you..get..

 

[ulmax]

I get

.Snell..25mil...LHP
Rosario ..10..mil..2b
Santana. .5mil..1b
Carantini ..3..mil..catch
Closer .......2mil.
And 5mil still.to spend..
And a couple trades.

 

[ulmax]

Or have t mobile..look.like.the tropacana..
When..Tampa was a bad.team..

Ring . ring..anyone..home...no...ohh well..

 

[ulmax]

Well..Cody..bellinger...has 12m...mutual .
Option that ..just outs him out ..
And othani..is who you want...anyway...
He is the..
Guy...
For. #3..spot..I was looking .to.offset..
Costs...and know ..
Have an excuse...
He really is the guy...and I don't trust bellinger...
Ohtani .is .top .10..hitter ...that is what..
Mariners need..even..if it is ..
2025..
