Mariners 2023 - 2024 offseason thread

[wazzu31]

I actually saw that earlier today but didn't have the guts to post it...lol. It just makes zero sense and it sounded like filler for a boring month. But Dipoto is so unpredictable, at least in the positive manner, maybe he pulls it off.

Figured I’d just post it. Didn’t want to dignify it because there are no words to describe how done with Jerry I’d be

Why on earth would we be interested in Dylan Cease?

No idea, especially after the year he is coming off of. You could argue he would be the number 5 or 6 for the Mariners. Its the equivalent of the Mariners trading Geno only to sign Matt Chapman.

Rumors everywhere on twitter that M's making a trade tonight but not with White Sox.

14 hrs 48 rbis .in 80 games..
Out with injuries .knee issue.
And hamstring issue.

Minnesota ..10.5 mil option.
On polanco.

 

[wazzu31]

It seems like a lot IMO to give up for Polanco, mostly meaning the 3rd best bullpen arm and top 100 prospect. But it is fair to make it a cash neutral deal. Won’t happen but they still do have money to sign either Snell or Bellinger. Snell allows Woo to either move to the pen or start in the minors with Hancock, or if they got Bellinger this offense is superior to last years.

Really shocked they couldn’t have tossed Moore/Haggerty and Hancock and get Kepler too

 

[ulmax]

The only place mariners got.
Hurt was topa .

Bull pen..
Thornton
Voth..
Soucedo..LHp..
Bazardo..

Speier....LHP
Ooooofff.im missing topa

Brash..
Monuz .
..................
Berroa..
Adcock..
McCoughan..
Bolton .
Vargas .
Kowar..
Kuhn..

For some reason .
They like moore still.i can't.

And both guys..is redundant..
