Mariners grade: C

This isn't going to go over well in Seattle -- with the fans or the players -- as it reeks of the Kendall Graveman trade from 2021 when the Mariners traded their then red-hot closer to the Astros while chasing a playoff spot. The players were vocally upset about that trade at the time so it will be interesting to see the reaction this time. Jerry's Dipoto's thinking is understandable, however, in the same division: The Rangers just added Max Scherzer and Jordan Montgomery and the Angels made several big moves as well and the reliever market was a seller's market. The Mariners are only 4.5 games out of the final wild card but have to jump over the Angels, Yankees, Red Sox and Astros or Blue Jays to get in. Not impossible, but FanGraphs puts their playoff odds at 16.7%. Plus, hard-throwing Andres Munoz is certainly capable of replacing Sewald and Matt Brash (76 K's in 43.1 IP) is a another power arm, although both have to show a little more moxie (both have a negative win probability added in 2023). The Seattle pen has been pretty reliable, but the depth will be tested and I can envision a final two months where the pen implodes.

Dipoto loves making these kinds of deals for what I'll call "25th man on the roster" types. Those guys are nice if they turn into Ty France, but more often they end up being Abraham Toro or Taylor Trammell or Shed Long. Rojas was decent with Arizona in 2021 and 2022, accumulating 4.0 bWAR over the two seasons, but he's hit .228/.292/.296 with no home runs in 189 at-bats. Maybe he replaces Kolten Wong, who has somehow been even worse, on the roster. Canzone debuted earlier this month after putting up gaudy numbers at Triple-A Reno: .354/.431/.634 with 16 home runs and nearly as many walks (39) as strikeouts (40). Impressive, but Reno is Coors Field-plus and we've seen Diamondbacks prospects who tore it up there struggle in the majors. He does bat left-handed, something the Mariners need, and it will be interesting to see if the Mariners will now trade away Teoscar Hernandez. Bliss was a second-round pick in 2021 out of Auburn, a second baseman who hit .358 at Double-A Amarillo before a recent move to Triple-A. Amarillo is another good place to hit, but Bliss is certainly interesting and could conceivably get a chance at the second-base job next season, a position Seattle has struggled to fill for years. It's a classic quantity-for-quality trade, but I'll take the quality side of things.

Funny I told the person I was with what I thought of these two. and I said think Moore and Haggerty. Different styles but utility players all the way. Jerry loves a 26 man utility roster. SMH! That was the reason I didn't want him trading. 3 role players for a closer. I want 1 stud, not 3 meh. Yet, nothing here is surprising me.

Three guys I was desperately hoping the Mariners would not get, but seemed so obviously like Dipoto type moves: Mark Canha, Jeimer Candelario, and Alex Verdugo. With the Safeco Field/T-Mobiler park/Marine layer jinx, I don't see any of those bats helping us this year or in forthcoming years.
Fortunately, two of those three bats have been traded. That leaves Vedugo. Please, some dumbass franchise pick him up.

 

[ulmax]

No..canzone..is a future bench guy..that will play..
Know..
Of 1b..right..lololoolo

This dude does seem intriguing but not for 2023 and that’s what we were sold is 2023.

 

[ulmax]

Rojas..at AAA..they could..still trade..for.
India...
Or grissom..
I'm not cross my.fingers though..
Chances are low..
Know.
But trade Hernandez .to.cinnci.maybe ok.

Anny package..
Of Gabe gonzales..
Plus .Hernandez..may work.

Not outfield ...for sure..but primary..maybe.

X4 strike outs cant help but affect. Games..
I have to say ..

Help us obewane..kinobe..your our only hope

And I am ok if he isn't IF the other two were more legit productive hitters right now. Then he would be a bonus that we could wait for, but sadly not.
