[cezero]

gurantee you they have,nt broken your heart like the cubs do yearly mine since 1969.

we've never even made a WS. only team with that "accomplishment"

it's just as easy to plug the numbers in for a calendar year. if you do all 2023 numbers: $363 million in revenue, $145 million in operating costs, and $140 million in payroll, then you get profit in the high $70s. there's not much room to hide with the revenue sharing model in place, and revenue is the key number here unless you think they're lying or hiding salary and have wildly different operating costs than they report.

I know but you are proving my point of it being educated guesses. I’m not trying to give cover for ownership, all I was saying to be fair. As in jest in case you haven’t gotten my sarcasm on the ownership group

Seattle Mariners Promote Long-Time Executive to New Role

The MLB offseason officially began on Thursday on the heels of the Los Angeles Dodgers winning their eighth World Series title after a 7-6 win against the New York Yankees.

I am so confused on how they organize their front office. How many positions now are directly related to business/financing? It’s like they now have 3 separate entities, they got the baseball side, business side and marketing side and nothing linking them together. Seems like such a waste of money and a cluster f with who’s in charge of what.

i think i figured out what wazzu is talking about. mlb doesn't disclose the exact amount each team gets from revenue sharing. it's supposed to be used primarily for team improvement, and mlb supposedly monitors it, but there have been plenty of articles talking about how teams maybe don't use it how it's supposed to be used. the pirates org was scrutinized for this pretty heavily recently regarding how much of revenue sharing $$$$ they were putting into player salary.

the numbers that people who put these charts together are local revenue only, and again, the numbers are required. the m's like every other club put 48% of local revenue back into the pool, but unless it's a top market team like the dodgers or yanks (who put a shitload back into their teams anyway), the total revenue for teams goes way up since it includes national revenue alloted by mlb with it's $11.2 billion in revenue reported last year.

I’m not trying to say anything is way off, I’m just going off of what was said about the Forbes article and the MLBPA with how they always talk about the owners cooking their books especially whenever the CBA negotiations start happening.

They realize marketing is just as important as the other two because they have the pulse on how to fool the masses. It is the true money maker.

Like..mury.2..or murpy 2..
Watched.film ...yeah..i.like him..

Offensive line...good rookie.in Hanes..
If u conn...

Well, at least the Cubs got it done in 2016! M’s have NEVER been to a World Series let alone won one … Only team in baseball to never get to a World Series, and man, every time they start heading in the right direction this origination $&@@&’s it up … It’s maddening …

In other words, Mariners save $17M.

I'd like to congratulate Polanco in advance for his upcoming 27 HR, 90 RBI, comeback player of the year award in 2025.

 

[PolarVortex]

Ty France more or less non-tendered by the Reds. He is now a free agent. Back in 2021 I thought this guy had a good shot to put up a couple 100-RBI, .300 BA seasons. The guy just gets hit by too many pitches. Everytime he starts to get hot he invariably gets hit on the hand or wrist or forearm and goes on the IL. I hope he ends up in a hitter's park. I think he still has some good baseball left in him.

 

[ulmax]

I think.seahwaks.need to draft..
Linebackers .1st or 2nd .
Then ..
Oc..
Witch they have needed..
And smith ain't hitting no younger..

 

[ulmax]

Agreed .
But ..mariners need to.move..on..

And so it is.

 

[ulmax]

we've never even made a WS. only team with that "accomplishment"

Witch.is why .we know .what it takes.
To be one....

That is not the mariners..


Right now ..until..
#4...and#6.?not.mention .
A #3..unless Julio..does..it..

 

[ulmax]

Best bets.from mariners.point.of veiw..

Vlade gurrero....1b..in an other universe..

Roki sasaki.....this year or next..
Same same for mariners .

Cole young....2b..hopefully. Tacoma..
So Bliss maybe..ok..for know.
With others .helping
(Rodgers..ok then )

Locklear....1b..Tacoma .

3b..I don't know..right know.

Prob still.platoon..

 

[ulmax]

Back up catcher as well..
Garver .trade him..

Need a younger guy there ...or deal with it in the future..anyway..

 

[ulmax]

You can go to spring thinking
Haniger....DH.
But better have some insurance..
Waiting at Tacoma..

That said .old haniger would be exactly what the team needs..at #6.

 

[ulmax]

As far as haniger .consintrate..on everything else..wait for that to develop.
Last..

Or.alt..

Whatever..

 

[ulmax]

Well.garver.is..the.kind.of..player..
That
Has a bad year every other year
Same as good years every .other
Let's hope we get a good year ..
.or ..
Guess we will have..to see it again.

 

[ulmax]

Mariners cant dump..
16.mil.for haniger ..
And
12.mil.for garver ..

Cant dump 28.mil...

That would be hard. For anyone to do.

So I..will.stick..with..

1b..
2b .

And DHS .at Tacoma..
Or the deadline .sound good .

At witch time you could dfa..
Either ..
Haniger or garver .

And replace.with.guys that were.traded .for.

 

[ulmax]

If garver or haniger hit well...
Then Seattle .gets it's moneys worth..

And those guys ..save there careers.

34.is old for a catcher...

No.not.old for a DH...

But haniger ..is has been beat up..
Most of his career

 

[ulmax]

Teams survive..players..like.joey.
Gallo..
Washington had him at 1b..last.year..
But..
It's amzaing..
Gallo..
Is worse than..either garver or haniger..
Lololo
