Mariners 2023 - 2024 offseason thread

[ulmax]

Well if gonzales.can get fixed..I'm not sure on that .
Then..ok .

 

[NWinAZ]

So I keep reading about Bo Bichette being talked about amongst teams. He is the one guy I would love for them to go all in for. He is under contract for 2 more years giving us time to extend him or deal him at the 2025 deadline.

Go for Bo and Romano. Make it a fun offseason.

 

[ulmax]

Let's see..
Is arrosarena..on risp list .
Nnnnooooooo.
Jorge solar..
Nnnnnooooooo
Well maybe we should pass.on.those.guys..
As well..
As
Soto .

I'm not against a...bo bichette..deal..
Other than .giving..Toronto .
Anything .at .all..

And that would cost..pitching..
Witch..I dont want to give up..

But the idea of bichette..is ok

 

[ulmax]

Yeah
.the.mariners..are in a tight sqeezzz..
With..
There.pitching..
Everyone.sayes..they..have enough
Yeah..for..them..
No one else..
Ya need 8 starters..they.barly.have.
That..
With Gonzales..injury..
Hancock .injury..
Dollard...injury..
Last..we heard .

 

[ulmax]

Saying.seattle..will..give up..
Kerby..
Gilbert.
Miller...
Or.
Woo..
Or even.
Castillo..

Is like asking .Yankees to give up..
Garrett .Cole..
It's crazy .

 

[ulmax]

But if your going.to trade a pitcher..
It's probably..
Castillo..
Or.
Gonzales .

And Castillo just signed for 5 years..
That is not .my 1st choice..

Gonzales..with..one..year .to.go..
Is nigh..un.tradeable...with injuries
So .
I will go .with him..

 

[ulmax]

So my alternative..are verry .few .

Jimenez..can hit hard.like.hernand3z.
And hit for better
Ave ..white Sox are having fire sale.
I'll take it..
A dh .
Bellinger .
With .Suarez gone .
Is a good fit .for seattles..a.free.agent
So.i don't have to give up..
A pitcher..
Amed Rosario..the same..

 

[ulmax]

So that is the way..without .giving up..
Any pitching..
I see..that..the mariners could at least..
Compete..
With texas..and have a good chance.
To beat them..
Otherwise..
It will..be a struggle..

 

[ulmax]

Yeah.red..blog..but..seattle.does.not.want.
To give up .the pitching..
They have giving.up.in.the.past..
Sorry .I think.indea..is.out..in.seattle...

Certainly...I could be wrong..

 

[ulmax]

Big red eval..on winker..Suarez .trade.
Looks like..
Seattle .got .
Spanked..on the deal....
So. No..more.trades..with..cinnci..
I will .pass .

 

[ulmax]

I only need one more trade.after..that... I could leave trading to.others.
For a long time..for the most part.
It never.seems.to work..for.seattle.
So I would not
Be seeking it ..

 

[ulmax]

Who..yeah.i like.jimenez.trade..as a dh.
With .white sox..
But not for pitching..unless it's Gonzales.


..for prospects .yeah.maybe


Then thats it..

What do you think that would really cost? I know it is way too early in their minor league careers but they got 3 guys who should be top 100 SS prospects going into next year, plus Celestin, who is a dude who has been forgotten but was talked about like the next Julio when he signed. So they have expendable guys. Just curious as to what else. I truly think Ford is an untouchable because of the Raleigh problem. So like Young, Gabby Gonzalez then who else? Those two plus Woo maybe or is that way to low. I’m sure they could toss Kelenic in there but Bichette would fill a gaping hole but then the Mariners would have to fill Kelenic’s spot. I have little faith in them filling both LF and RF with impact bats. No offense but Canzone, Marlowe and DeLoach competing for a spot is not acceptable.

Just hate how Jerry has boxed himself in with how IMO dumb his roster construction has been.

For a 25 year old SS that is capable of getting 200 hits, 100 RBIs, and is already an All Star? That is way too low, we would really need to give up a ton for him plus the 400 million it will take to extend him. We would also need to figure out what to do with JP Crawford and the hole at 3rd base and RF.

You can throw the two scrubs he picked up to 3B and actually spend the money to get Bellinger. But if the Jays want anything more than 1 of the 2 SS, Gonzalez and either Miller or Woo then it’s a pass

Read some teams see him as a 3B. Or we move Crawford to 2B.

As far as the cost, I read Gilbert,Cole Young and Brash (but it included Romano coming to us). Not sure if that was a baseball guy or not. I know they wanted Suarez...oh ya too late. Maybe we can give them the two we got for Suarez. I heard they are real valuable...

My guess: Gilbert for sure if I am Toronto. Then it is just a matter of young preference. I agree it would probably include one of our future SS's. No to Ford. Maybe Ford the SP.

I came up with Gilbert, Walter Ford and Arroyo for Bo and Romano.

If they wanted to add Vlad, then any youngster would be on the table.

 

[ulmax]

It's a bit .out of .Seattle's way.to go bichette.

Crawford..young .is more. Likely ...
In near future .

For.the most part...maybe one more trade..
Then..it's.free.agents...the rest of the way.
Maybe some .minor .trades
Like Moore..
But I'm not counting .on .anything..

 

[NWinAZ]

Mariners with 90+ RBI's last 5 (Full) Seasons:

JRod
Suarez
Teo
Seager
Haniger X 2
Cruz

7 times we have had a 90+ RBI guy in last 5 full seasons. Only 1 remains. This from a team that can't score runs. Sorry, but I am still shaking my head on this offseason.

 

[ulmax]

Yeah..they have to add know ..
The big guys..
They are .at ..90 mil..only.

Know.50.mil.to.spend.
