Mariners are cutting because of some cable issue Comcast is doing according to 7.10 … They’re not gonna spend either so expect regression, typical M’s ownership… Yet another example of why the M’s never do shit …

So is this the part Servais was talking about when he said something in our control and something out of our control regarding losing money? I assume this is the out of control part, so what was the in their control part?

Referring to this.

Good question … Kelenic is only 24 years old, was the M’s future guy that we traded a lot to get, and we just give up on him despite improvements… This ownership is a shit show … Braves are smiling as they should be .. I highly doubt the M’s make any big splash either, expect a middle of the pack worthless signing… I hope I’m wrong and they surprise us all, but I doubt it strongly … Also Servais made the comment when you’re playing you don’t think about the money the guy is making you think a it winning … LoL … His hands are tied, I get it, he can only work with what he’s got, but that tells me they’re not gonna spend, which guarantees the M’s just blew another window at a potential World Series, because this team was close a couple seasons ago.. But this is what the M’s ownership does, they go cheap and that’s it .. We’re sitting at 24th in payroll right now, that will change, but expect somewhere around 15-20th in payroll ..

Totally agree. I thought my days of having to worry about M's ownership sabotaging their own chances were gone with ownerships of the 80's and through mid 90's. Just crazy. We are the Seattle Marlins.

 

[ulmax]

The other thing is.you can..
Get.other..channels.on the internet..why.not root sports.
That..is .the fail .so.far..

What..the..root..has..not.

Well tell us what moves we need to make so we can win the world series since you have the answers. I am just neutral on this and only pointing out what I think he is doing and direction he is moving in.

We all can agree they missed the playoffs by a game last year. So you don’t trade your best bullpen arm at the deadline. Everyone I think is ok with not extending the QO to Teo. Trading your best bullpen arm to finish off the season for a player who is a platoon is a strange move but idiotic if you are making that platoon player an everyday starter. Trading the clubhouse leader for scrubs isn’t a smart decision. And trading a starting position player for dudes who won’t ever pitch for you just so you can dump salary is retarded.

As much as I disagree with it, it would make sense if Jerry either increases the payroll to within striking distance of the luxury tax, or trade all of their top prospects.

So we disagree on philosophy but facts that we should be able to agree on is he created three more holes other the other 2.5 (France) they needed. He no longer has major league quality starters to round out the rotation if they trade Miller or Woo. The salary dumps he made to create payroll is basically one free agent. So they got 5 offensive spots to fill, and at least 1 good bullpen arm. If they fill the lineup problems with trades then they have to sign one of the high priced pitching free agents.

 

[ulmax]

Cuz the mariners have.
Every tool.they need right know .except..
A good line up...no Stanton will be blamed

They have for decades. It is their blue print. If you followed me you know I have said for years that building a championship caliber team is not in ownerships best interest. It cost more and builds expectations that fans will expect for years to come which means more expense for them. Building a mediocre team that flirts with winning is cheap and keeps all expectations low. hell we got people on this site arguing for management as if we the fans owe them gratitude. They sold 2.7M tickets last year so what does spending $100M more in salary gain them? Nothing. They have the best expense to income ratio working right now. Hence why they are number one in the majors in profit. What, about $150M+ in profits in last two years?

So you say fans are pissed off. Ok, yet they will sell out so many games and still have all the revenue they need. Nothing will change. Nothing has ever changed.
