Here is a hypothetical mock trade to send Arenado to the Mariners:

Cardinals receive: Right-handed pitcher Bryan Woo

Mariners receive: Third baseman Nolan Arenado, Left-handed pitcher Matthew Liberatore, and $5 million

"I have an obligation to the people who own this baseball team, an obligation to make money, to operate in a profitable fashion. Doing that, we expect to put the best product we can on the field, and I think we have accomplished that over the last two years."

"You can go to the Series two ways; first, go for it regardless of the financial risk or consequences, the way Cleveland or Florida has; or go for it with a competitive team that plays for championships on a continual basis. The objective of the Seattle Mariners is not to go to the World Series regardless of the financial consequences, that is irresponsible."

I love these quotes from Jerry Dipoto...Oh wait these are Howard Lincoln from 2002. Owner's today were part of ownership then. Nothing has changed. Nothing will change. Blueprint established decades ago.

I don't like it much. It leaves the Mariners on the hook for $59 million of Arenado's salary over the next three years. Unfortunately, this is not a golden era for third basemen. There just aren't that many good ones right now.

Then again, there aren't that many good second basemen either. Hoerner and India were good targets. Royals got India. Hoerner is still out there. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/stats/...ECOND_BASE&qualified=FALSE&sortStatId=AT_BATS

You trade Woo for someone in their prime, not a 33 year old. Regardless M's ownership would never take on his contract.

Yet another off-season of fucking nothing from this shit ownership.
