Mariners 2023 - 2024 offseason thread

[NWinAZ]

Yeah I don’t know. There are so many ways they could go this offseason. But first and foremost is they have sky rocket the budget. They don’t have to reach the luxury tax but there isn’t a reason the team shouldn’t be a top ten payroll. I guarantee when they come out with those skewed stats of revenue and profit the Mariners baseball team is going to have made a huge profit. Not counting the money they made from Root Sports and all the bars and restaurants they purchased around the stadium.

I was being realistic in my theories. They are not going to increase the budget by any real amounts. If they do, great but I don't trust them at all. Zero trust.

So 3 medium signings to take the place of Teo's, Geno's, and ? contracts. That is what I see from them.

 

[ulmax]

Yeah .the..signing.free..agents has not.
Been.all.that good in Seattle...
But..they have.to...have.more..guys..
A#3
And.
#4..
They.say..everyone...is waiting..for.othani...
But Seattle .needs to spring..for.a few.
This time...
I don't see.a trade..that will bring.
A bellinger .type..Mets Alonzo..is not..
It..
They need a long term guy..
Not .one..and.done..type..guys..
N.y...dont.seem..to.like..anyway..
So..
Heck.ill...take him..

 

[ulmax]

2b is a diff .story .a .one and done there..
Would be ok..

With .bliss.and caballero.At.
AAA .
Windash..at..AA

 

[ulmax]

Ok sodo mojo ...non tenders

Roudy.telez..1b.ok.im.not.high.on.him.
But
Penn Murphy..non.tendered..i am high on
Murphy .if .they.can get him at Tacoma.

Spencer.turnbull..im ok with it .mariners will.need a couple.starters..to .work.
with at Tacoma..

Brandon woodruff...those guys know we're.to.go.to.get.fixed..
Yeah .so mariners should pick up.a couple.
Yeah prob ...
It's all .over..even the..collage guys know..
So ..ok.

 

[ulmax]

As a last re-sort .in the meadows..ok..
But I don't want.it to..be..the last..resort...
Seattle wants some good ball players..
I can't blame them..
They deserve it..for.there.continued..
Loyalty....and support...
At the same .time...
I don't want .the owner..to go.broke..
Buiz is buiz..but..
They are also .paying to have .fun..

Seeingly .a..team .win..
For a change...with.the..magic..
Or..the 95..season..
That is Seattle...
Not...
No money ..ho...hum..
For..3..ball.players..
That can.hit...
This is.seattle..not Pittsburgh..

 

[ulmax]

Amazingly..Seattle..has the good stuff..
The pitching...So just what..
Is holding..the free agents up..to.come.
To.seattle..
Jet ski...sure.you can do that..here..
And everything..else.on the water.
And land..great.part..of america..
Just..try..it .

But ..it's..time..to..free agent..
Before the young.pitching..
Evaporates..

 

[ulmax]

And no .need .to.trade..the..pitching..away..for..hitters..either.
Keep the pitchers .and guys will..want.
To come here....to .win.

 

[ulmax]

I know otahni..is a fabulous.talent..
But .
The mariners..have.beaten.him before.
And will.again..if.he goes else where.
If he comes..here..ok..it takes..
A team..always..
Not just..one guy..
That .is how..they..do..
Basketball..


But not..in Seattle..ho.hum..bum.
Be dum...
Ho hum.....if we ....could.only.....have fun.

 

[ulmax]

Belinger.yeah..they..need..him..
Worst of all..
To be able.to compete..with Texas..
A 300.ave hitter ...to match..seager.
Yeah..mariners.have.raliegh=hiem.

Julio ...seimien...

Then..they could be over..the top..
With.an AWSOME..guy..in the middle..
Like.
Eloy..Jimenez..

Just think..of an outfield..of..

Kelenic..Julio..bellinger...and.he.can.
1b..as well. All.things Seattle needs.

 

[ulmax]

I'm not saying.a 2b..whitch.they do need.
But.if it does not come...
They have..
Bliss.and cabalero..as well..

 

[ulmax]

I don't know.but a trade for Austin Shenton..would shore.up..3b.
Colby think so as well .
Even if he is at AAA .to start..
And urias
And rojes.at 2b .
For who.....
Why .bull pen guys of course .
Lololoololoo..
Shenton..is .1b/3b...so ok .L/L.

 

[ulmax]

Then kiner- falefa..ss/3b/of..and it works .

 

[ulmax]

Then there is always .the deadline .
If it needs..
Fixing .

 

[ulmax]

One.other.thing..bellinger..
Was a. Team..mate of seagers..
He knows.him..for sure..

So..he is the guy..that you would want.
Of...1b...hits 300..
All..good

 

[ulmax]

Yeah ..Yankees have concerns..on belingers.hard hit rate .I'm ok.with.
That..I just..want him.to.hit.300..
280..ok..that's .good..
But..
That is why..I put .Jimenez..right.behind.
Him..
He is the hard.hit..guy..

Just .keep his .bat...(bellinger)
At.17.degee..launch...and..i am good with it
