Verry nice kittridge .keep.going.thats
Only one .
The closers .ok .now ya have 2 guys

 

[cezero]

would love to see Arenado in an M's uniform.

seems like a pipe dream

Arenado in a Mariner uniform, at this stage in his career, would be yet another Dipoto Disaster. Mitch, Mitch, Randy, and Nolan - The Four Horsemen of The Mariner Apocalypse

 

[cezero]

only a fool would put Arenado in the same category with any of those.

Jerry would definitely get owned if any such trade did happen, though. it's part of the reason i'm glad that he's doing much this offseason. this team is dogshit and won't contend next season, so he's going to get fired within the next 12 months, and i wouldn't be surprised if it was midseason. the last thing i want to see him do is get owned (and he will) trading any prospects or especially any starters.

i can't stop laughing thinking about handing out a list of these players and asking anybody with a modicum of baseball knowledge which doesn't belong using any metric or any stage of any of their careers as a measuring stick.

Arozarena
Haniger
Arenado
Garver

Even braindead Mike Salk would look at that list and think it was some sort of joke.

 

[ulmax]

At this point I hope they sign Wong, Frazier and Polanco for the new infield. Figure out positions during spring.

 

[ulmax]

Well, I'll leave you to the name calling and take the high road. Garver had a solid season in 2023. Better than Arenado's season last year. I know what career decline looks like. You take a player in obvious career decline decline, put him in a pitcher-friendly baseball park for the first time in his career, ythe end result is Mitch Arenado.

Jerry would definitely get owned if any such trade did happen, though. it's part of the reason i'm glad that he's doing much this offseason. this team is dogshit and won't contend next season, so he's going to get fired within the next 12 months, and i wouldn't be surprised if it was midseason. the last thing i want to see him do is get owned (and he will) trading any prospects or especially any starters.

2022 was three years ago. The combined 2023-2024 OPS stats:
Arzarena 761
Garver 748
Arenado 746
Haniger 625.

Even braindead Mike Salk would look at that list and think it was some sort of joke.

Wow, three poorly-disguised clerly-annoyed defensive responses to my single post. Calm down and take a deep breath.

2022, age 31: 891 OPS
2023, age 32: 774 OPS
2024, age 33: 719 OPS
2025, age 34, Mariner Arenado: 550 at bats, 50 runs, 12 Hr, 55 RBI, .220 BA/.275 OBP/.365 SLG/.645 OPS.

Given the ages and steadily dropping OPS, some people would be inclined to call that career decline. Oh, and did I mention he's still owed $64 million. And of course we will have to give up young talent to acquire him.
