Mariners 2023 - 2024 offseason thread

[Cloud]

on top of the free agent classes the Rangers pounced on they also went out and got a legend in Bochy.

BUT… just be patient M’s fans!

Nelson Cruz retired today. My favorite DH on the mariners after Edgar. He was one of the better FA signings this team has made over the years.

Sources: The San Diego Padres took out a loan for about $50 million in September to address short-term cash flow issues and meet their obligations, including player payroll. With
@dennistlin
and
@Ken_Rosenthal

I'm guessing Soto gets moved during the winter meetings

They would’ve ended the playoff drought had they not pretended they had some moral issue with him in the 2013/14 offseason.

That's how they...... do..load..um .up.

 

[ulmax]

I'm a still..interest in ss/2b..amed Rosario.
And.chapman..3b..
Making..Rojas .2b/3b..seems good.those.
Guys are right,
Rojas..left..
Chapman .17.hrs is ok

 

[ulmax]

But I'm not sure..chapman.is any..better..
Than Suarez..
On defence or offence..

 

[ulmax]

I have layed off on indea .cuz .he does not
3b..the way .like or that often..

Crawford..ss .
Amed Rosario..ss./2b
I'm fairly..stuck on .with Rojas as well .
At 3b./2b..
But need a utility...
Who can do both..and hit..

Garcia .2b.i still like..
Those.are the I would really like .

 

[ulmax]

1.crawford..ss..L/L
2.julio..
3.garcia..2b..L/L..trade.750.t
4...dh.
5.raliegh...left.sw.cat
6.thomas..RF ..trade..7.5mil
7kelenic..LF..L/L.
8..France .1b
Rojas ..3b..L/L.

Bench.
Murphy .catch 5mil..
Rosario ..ss/2b./3b.10mil..
Canzone .
Santana ....1b.7mil..

Snell..or whoever..should be left..

 

[ulmax]

Maybe gurriel.jr. .for dh .would work ..
Back where I started.almost.
Wong was..10.mil..
Pollack.7..
Hernandez..16.
So I don't see a lot of problems.there.
If you are.making.more.money.
Than.most.other..mlb clubs..

With those guys..at .those...prices..
Then .doing better..may not be a problem.

 

[ulmax]

Sodo mojo..does bring up some good stuff..
Sometimes .
Like Suarez..is an elite defender.at..3b..
But needs less .at bats.overall...
This ...
You say .150.games..i say..125..but whatever..
Is something .I will .leastin to..
If they have a good .
Plan. to get geno...platooned..with .Rojas..
So he does not strike out so.much..

But .you would still need 1 more guy.
Maybe Rosario..I don't know .

I like scaping .it and starting..with..
New..guys .
But .I would consider .geno .at .3b..
But not all the time ..

Santana..1b..for sure .
Snell...
Rosario..good against left..ss/2b.
Geno..3b..
Rojas..2b

I don't know..

 

[ulmax]

I'm also a fan..of 13 .starters...who.
Start .all .the time .depending..on..
Who is pitching. And numbers against ..
And guys like ..Moore and haggerty..
Time .for trade....
Yes .I like them both...but. I want 13.starters..
For the lineup..
