Mariners 2023 - 2024 offseason thread

[ulmax]

but....mariners need a left..handed pitcher....so by defualt...its snell...and he wants to be here..that is 90%..
of the problems solved...
im in on snell.....

not that..yamamoto..would not...work...what he wants..is unknown...is he better...maybe...

if i was pittsburgh...i would be all..in there..on yamamoto....they have even more money to spend...than seattle..

but san diego makes sense..as..well..once..they offload...soto

 

[ulmax]

ya need a couple..guys to say...this..is seattle.....snell is one of those..guys......to say to the rest of the league...
we aint...ya farm team.....and to..morosi..and mlb as well...

belinger..is the other.....

know its time..for the big boys...so..its time....and snell..is one of those...bellinger is the other...

send..that message....and they will notice..otherwise...seattle keep getting walked on...and dis respected..

and by morosi.....and i will have to hide my head...in shame.....we all will..

and other teams..will keep..planting there..flag..on the space needle......while we hide are heads in shame

 

[ulmax]

yeah..so if they..cant handle it.....then stanton needs to sell...cuz that is the problem...not jedi..

and with snell..the.whole pitching staff..fits well...including....miller..hancock..and dollard

dollard likely bull pen..but its hard to say till he comes back..healthy...

that is what the media...does not know....and they think..woo..is a starter...

dumb dumb..dumb..

can start....is not starter...as with brash...

 

[ulmax]

whie seattle..limped..to the finnish..with a bull pen guy...starting for them...the rest of the league...just wants farm..
team mariners...to take there......junk....

no thanks...i will keep..our junk....you keep yours...

 

[ulmax]

johnaton indea would work..instead..of amed rosario..and for..prospects probably...if not amed...
thats my backup plan..on 2b..
but whatever...

ya only..get 2
years of..indea..then free agent..but it fits...for timeline..of windash..bliss..and so on..

if your going to win your going to have a free agent bubble right here almost no matter what

 

[ulmax]

indea would take that down a notch..but the..rest..stil..same..

snell..
belinger..
santana...
murphy..

and trade for a right hander..jimenez or lane thomas..or someone i have not.mentioned..

the thing..on right hander..is lazaro montes...is light years away...so...

locklear..is no bellinger...locklear..is santana

 

[ulmax]

no we know what..the problem..with belanger..was launch..angle....with dodgers...we now know...he needs17%.degree..
launch angle so cubs did the work...
seattle has a chance..to..be the..beneficiary..if it cost..a pick....so what

 

[ulmax]

that is the basics..of what i have...mariners have a chance....to get it right..they certainly..need...the money to do so..
so we will see..if they..accually..can or will....

or...
get your paper sack ready...

 

[ulmax]

 

[ulmax]

 

[ulmax]

what thy need..to do..that...is like pulling teeth as well...is trade marco..to colorado....lollolo
dont worrie...
denver..knows what to do......just watch..out..the ball will float..on ya there...a bit..

bull pen guys...

 

[ulmax]

marco can hardly do any worse than any of there other pitchers...but whatever

 

[ulmax]

colorado....
jalen beeks...over there..from tampa..left
evan justice..left..

almost no pitcher has a good era there..so..pick um

 

[NWinAZ]

I just guess my opinion from all the stuff I’ve read, which I’m not a scout so no real idea as I’ve never seen any of them play outside of Hancock. It doesn’t seem like it is really depleting the farm system. I don’t see any downside, because it is basically a deadline deal except the Mariners get him to start the season. Worst case scenario is the Mariners do their early season thing and he gets traded at the deadline to say the Rays, Orioles, Reds or one of the teams who aren’t in on him because of his full salary. But who knows, I see if your way too.

I guess if he walks we would recoup a draft pick as well. The other thing I judge a trade on is what else did we do? To make this trade and do nothing else, is a waste to me. Make this trade and then add a couple more legit players to the lineup and I will party in the streets. So I am waiting for the full context before judging I guess.

I was listening to a podcast that said the M’s and Phillies could’ve made a perfect trade by offering QO’s the two. He’d be a great prove it deal, but doubtful any player would come to Seattle to prove it for a bigger contract.

I wouldn't want him on a prove it deal cause he's had basically the same starts throughout his career.

 

[ulmax]

one thing.i did not say...woo..was on fuuums..at the end of the season..if anyone wants him to be a starter..

ya gota build him..up...at least.a year..maybe 2..

one heck of a bull pen guy though..



and so is topa...if he does not get traded....hell be good.for a while..for seattle

 

[ulmax]

could be...bull pen...

woo..
campbell...
topa...
LHP.

speier..LHp
brash...

closer..
monuz..

topas only..problem...is seattles..excecive need for bats...same as seawald..
and cuz they were out of guys..they used him out.of position a bit..

but im sure he knows all that

 

[ulmax]

one more thing..most mlb guys know..way more than i do..cuz i started...in football..

either way..media guys are..dumb and dumber...

enough on that...

 

[ulmax]

i dont think..there..is any doubt...that..santana
..needs to...be the master sarge..of the command there...

mr been..there..done that.....its what they need...a leader..

yes i know..crawford..no ...same same..

 

[ulmax]
