Mariners 2023 - 2024 offseason thread

[ulmax]

If it's me..Colby..I'm waiting.for.2026..
For mercedes.and or mcgraw..

With.a rotation..of.

Gilbert..
Kerby..
Miller..
Woo.
Mcgraw .Hancock.dollard.mercedes.

Then after 20 27.im trade kerby to mets.
For 4 top 100 prospects.maybe 5.

 

[ulmax]

Cuz there no way. Mariners will ever.
Keep.both Gilbert and kerby .
And kerby has most value in n.y...
So that settles it..I have to ,..try... to.
Pay.gilbert..
Going waaay forward..
As the ace of...staff

And keep prospects coming...in the rotation..

 

[ulmax]

And that would take care of minors reload at the same time..
After..
Trading.castillo.in 2025..

 

[ulmax]

And that would take care of minors reload at the same time..
After..
Trading.castillo.in 2025..

So maybe that will.tell.ya who..to trade..
Not Gilbert or miller..or.woo..

Castillo .if any .cuz of Stanton's.pocket.
Book.
And why.they certainly can afford.
Gio.urshela..

 

[ulmax]

Mariners have to stop.acting.like.
Farm.team though..
Owners included.in that...and be big league...
Fans included as well..

That is where the franchise is...
Ready.to be big time..
If the owners..
Can handle.that..

 

[ulmax]

Not this year .next the prospects will start.
Tickling in..
Locklear..
Cole young..
On and on...and owners.wil.mostly.
Only.havevto pay.pitchers..
To the point. of embarrassment..at how.
Little..
A playoff team.is.paying..
Yeah.they.will.. be forbs..again..

But not with out .fans..ya won't.

 

[ulmax]

2o27,mariners,maybe..

1 Jonathon clase...LF
2 Cole young..,,ss..L/L
3.julio,.................,.cf.
4.locklear...,...,.....1b.L/L.
5 Raleigh...........cat/swit.
6.lazaro.montes..rf
7...3b.bliss..2b/3b
8crawford...2b.L/L.
9.dh.windash.

Bench.
Harry ford .cat.
Rodden...ss.utility.
Marlowe ..of.rabbit.
Raley.....RF /1b.

 

[ulmax]

Who is there now Crawford.
Julio,.and raliegh..

And raley.

 

[ulmax]

Yes well..the cardinals told us who to
Keep by drooling over..Gilbert.

And we know kerby .
Mets will drool over ..

So ..yeah..thats how I figure it out .

 

[ulmax]

Cots contracts.projected.opening.
Day.payroll..125mil..
Projected..
End of year 40 man..132mil..
Spotrac.where.they are now .115.mil..

2023..end.of year 137mil...
So yeah.they can afford.a 3b..
With still.10 mil.to spend.
15 mil.if they trade urias .
But they still have to fill up AAA.

 

[ulmax]

Yeah I know they are going with Louis urias ...
I'm not saying.he is bad..
I'm saying mariners need.a hitter..
Up At.#3.spot..
An ave hitter.,
The only guy mariners have for that.
Is France .
So I guess it's him..

 

[ulmax]

I was kind of liking.france.in #8 spot.
Yeah I know he will hit better.thanb250.
That's why I was liking him.at #8.
To keep it going..
And keep the pitcher from.singing.

Kumby ya.while yawning.

 

[ulmax]

But keep trying i guess....

Man who can catch fly with chop sticks.
Can do anything..

Mr Miyagi....karate. kid

 

[ulmax]

Twins daily...
I think..
The rotation...
Of.
Castillo..
Kerby..
Gilbert..
Miller..
Woo..

is a lock.

I think...
You might .get .schlafani...for bull pen guys ..
But I'm not sure on that either .
A one year 2b..does not look
Spectacular..to Seattle..

And money is a problem.
As well.

 

[ulmax]

2026..change of the guard..
Cole young ss..
Crawford...2b..
The problem..is still..3b.

 

[ulmax]

If France hits well this year..and he needs
To..
A 2026 extention could be in order.

 

[ulmax]

Mariners .core..

Crawford..captain.
Julio..cf
Raliegh...catch
Cole young .ss
Strait up the center

Next..
Canzone..lf
Raley....RF.
France....1b

 

[ulmax]

Next...
Locklear..1b.
Johnston clase .LF

 

[ulmax]

3b..still a problem..

Bliss..Maybe a 2b/3b patch..but it's not
A great one...for 3b.

Sure in a future Castillo..trade.
A solution .maybe.at 3b.maybe

 

[ulmax]

Castillo trade..when.owners.
Start .wanting.the team to live.
On..
1/8..instead of 1/4..

Cheap.bastards..
5hey.want.to.act.like.nobles..of old..

But they.give.no.penance.
So noble..they are not...

Only cheap . bastards
