Mariners Offseason 2024-25

[ulmax]

So sugano.chalks up..to snuff..
A bit faster.

Arraez at 1B, Korean player at 2B, Raley in OF, Arozarena traded for 3B. I'm bored, sorry.

Well then yes I’m in on that. But that’s kind of the problem with them not doing any moves as of right now. Outside of signing Sasaki, any move they make is going to look like they have made the team weaker. Just feelings no facts IMO Rojas> Kim. But if it is followed up by moves like how you laid out then yeah.

By this time last year they had already done their moves of making the team worse and started making the moves we thought would at least improve the offense.

 

[wazzu31]

Trade:

Castillo ($24.5M)
Arozarena ($11.5M)

For

Mayo ($800K)
Mountcastle ($6M)
Kjerstad ($800K)

$36M going out, $7.6M coming back. $28.4M savings.

Dang, you made my early season idea better. Never thought about trading Randy.

Only tweak I would make is I’d think the M’s would have to toss in a prospect so Locklear or Williamson or heck getting Kjerstad in a way gives the ability to trade Raley since they kind of project as the same player

Can Rojas actually be better than...anyone? I would it would at least be a wash. No clue since it is impossible to judge Korean hitters. My biggest worry is Flexon was a stud there, so...

Ya I'm not the best at guessing trades. I was thinking they might insist on keeping Kjerstad and throwing in Mullins instead because of age and pay. He is $8M and they might not want to take on all that extra payroll.

 

[ulmax]

One last thing..settles pitchers are even.
Better than most think.

Cuz they have constant .lack..
Of run support...

In Baltimore that won't be a prob..
As it is in Seattle .

If that’s the case then I don’t think they’d have to toss in a prospect. But Baltimore is weird, their new owner/ownership group is supposedly loaded but the GM or whatever came out and had a Jerry type presser where he said basically he doesn’t want to spend a bunch of money because then it jeopardizes his job if they don’t win.

I've said for years on here mediocrity is a GM's best friend in certain markets like Seattle and apparently Baltimore.

 

[ulmax]

No..raley..is left..yeah.

But he is a.diff kind of hitter..

Ya can't..or at least should not..
Get rid..of raley..

You would have raley..and kerstad..
If..you.rid..of.arosarena..

I don't really like either...

I would rather..keep.all.5.

Robles....cf/rf
Julio.....cf
Aroserena...lf
Raley...........1b
Cuz..
Kerstad...dh..rf/1b

 

[ulmax]

What..is the deal..next..is trade.haniger.
To Miami...prob.fot..10mil..
Eating 3or4 mil..
Then it's the same as..trade arosarena.

The trade..is haniger..
And miami.has no.dh..

Burger.. Is.a ranger..

 

[ulmax]

Sure they trade Locklear as well.
To Miami..maybe.
But that would be the deal..
Cuz they would have enough.
1b guys..

 

[ulmax]

This is bench..

10..garver..
11.moore..
12.??.
13.raley...

The question..is 12..2b/3b.
Rojas would have fit.there.

But moving.on..the Korean guy maybe.

Next year...
Cole young...ss/2b.left.
Williamson..3b..

Cuz no..cubs trade for horner.
Young is the next best..

Weather..they get an other 3b.
Or not..Williamson..
Williamson.will.play..at..mlb..this year.
Sometime..
If only for..defence

 

[ulmax]

So weather..they Baltimore or not.
The haniger trade should be made

 

[ulmax]

Leaving garver..
And 12 mil..
For the next.year..to find a new catcher

 

[ulmax]

That's why..I like trade..
Miami..
Haniger for Conner norby..3b/2b...
.
And Miami signs rojas

 

[ulmax]

So in theory...
Baltimore
Castillo.

Seattle..
Montcastle.....1b
Kerstad...dh/rf/1b
Urias...3b.

..........................m..mmmm..............
Miami.
haniger...
Locklear maybe as well.

Seattle..
Conner norby....3b/2b.
Rp..tortos. Or somthing..

Miami signs rojas..

 

[ulmax]

Jesus tinoco..is the guy..
Rp..
Miami.
Or.
Loubert Aries..is a better choose.
Only 24...yo..4saves..4holds..
304 era at AAA....68 innings 75 so.
Whip 119..

 

[ulmax]

Conner norby .
Games by position..
2b (12)..3b.(39).

With Miami...178.at bats...9 hrs.
Ave 236...rbis..20.stolen.3..ops.732

Sure. But it’s really weird all of a sudden GM’s are being brazen about mediocrity being good for them. It’s just a given if your wife comes home with an ugly haircut you are suppose to say it looks good

 

[ulmax]

Marine layer. ..same .
Locked on .mariners..same..

So..elevator music .
