Mariners trade deadline/rumors thread

[NWinAZ]

Wouldn't this just be Mariners luck that this was the follow up deal to today's trade?

 

[wazzu31]

One writer I just messaged with said he speculates maybe KC wants Moore in a Whitfield deal and Toro replaces Moore on the roster. Makes sense.

Then wouldn’t you do a 3 way deal with KC where Seattle still ends up with Smith, Toro and Merrfield and KC gets better prospects from both Seattle and Houston? Unless there is a 3 team deal on the table with KC and the A’s and Oakland didn’t want to help Houston it just doesn’t add up.

 

[Podunkparte]

re-sign him.....he has been..the most steady ..guy...

and why to houston.......??..they would never trade with the mariners ...before

So trade him now, get a high upside kid with years of control, and resign him in the offseason.

My only concern with that is once you include the Astros you risk them just jumping you and getting Merrifield without you. And why do I keep writing Whittfield? Combining his names together for some dumb reason.

It is a really dumb ass name. It’s like one of those where if he isn’t on your team you just hate him because his name is stupid…but if he is on your team it is colorful.

ABRAHAM TORO3B, SEATTLE MARINERS

Mariners acquired INF Abraham Toro and RHP Joe Smith from the Astros for RHP Kendall Graveman and RHP Rafael Montero.​

Toro is the big get for Seattle in this somewhat controversial swap. He has mostly struggled in his time at the MLB level, but the 24-year-old does have impressive numbers in the upper minors and might be the third baseman of the future for the Mariners. Unless, of course, hyper-active general manager Jerry Dipoto looks to flip him in a subsequent trade.

 

[Podunkparte]

The medical issues were reportedly with one of the other pieces of the trade, not Anderson, just to be clear.

went to oregon...from las vegas..with his era around 4 all the time.he is a #4th or 5th..starter.............nice..but that prob means no ace...type..
and this is what i expected...but now they can go get marifield or turner

but they..could use him out of the bull pen...and then still go get an ace....but i think the chances are..low..on that

ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that the Mariners are finalizing a trade for Pirates starter Tyler Anderson.​

Pittsburgh will receive two prospects in the swap. Anderson was almost out the door to Philadelphia on Tuesday afternoon, but that agreement hit a snag due to a medical issue involving one of the players that the Pirates were slated to get in return from the Phillies. Now the Mariners have swooped in, beating out late offers from some other teams that reportedly tried to enter the bidding on Tuesday night -- namely the Mets. Anderson should be a nice depth addition to the starting rotation in Seattle, and this acquisition might help to calm some of the frustration in the Mariners' clubhouse that followed the recent trade of Kendall Graveman to the Astros.

No complaints on this one. This is a massive low risk and possible mediocre reward. Unlike the other one which is high risk and mediocre reward.

Ya but I still hate getting guys for 2 months. If they could extend him, it would make me a bit happier but the price was right.

 

[Podunkparte]

We desperately needed rotation depth at the ML level and this was acquired at a pretty low price.

Sure rentals suck, but isn’t like they gave up David Ortiz or anything. Maybe Smith and Anderson combined semi equal Graveman, then getting Toro for Montero is legit…but I just have this gut feeling that Graveman and Montero being dealt has nothing to with on field issues, otherwise it literally makes no sense that I can think. You know me, I try to look at positives but like the Marco/O’Neill deal I will gladly die on a hill when I feel it is wrong or doesn’t make sense on the surface such as Dipoto pulling an ego trade with Marco for Tyler.

We never gave up David Ortiz.

Well you got me point. He was a dude they could’ve randomly given up upon instead of letting his personal life play out.

Not sure but I think Bins may have been higher rated than David Arias was with us at the time of their trades.
