Rojas is a Chapman clone. He has the glove of Matt Chapman and the bat of Aroldis Chapman...FINAL GRADES: Josh Rojas' Defense Might Have Cemented Future With Seattle Mariners
Third base might be the biggest question mark going into the offseason for the Seattle Mariners. And it's not necessarily because the team's current starter is bad, it's because he had such a confusing season.
The only reason I am not sure about this is because why would a team that has made on average $80M+ per year in profit the last few years and not spend it on payroll would then make money on a sale and then reinvest it? If they did sell a portion, they would just pocket it. Then you would have to ask what owner would sell all or a portion of their interest? Larson? Stanton?
Cause the way I see it, is it would be basically be a kind of loan to the current owners until they figure out the tv stuff. In theory they could pocket but I also think there is enough backlash at them from generally friendly outlets that they could raise the payroll just to shut up the casual fan who is just now discovering the problem with ownership. The last part I’m not 100% sure on how that whole ownership stuff would make out. I know Griffey got a minority stake or whatever but they never said how any of it works. Just to me it seems like when you are company and someone buys shares. It doesn’t really change anything but I also could be way off on how the money thing works.
They haven't seem to care so far about pocketing the profits and the casual fan keeps showing up to games at a 40K clip.
