That is kind of what I meant two top 25 prospects but lower end. Meaning not the top 5. I think Arroyo has been as high as top 10, but wouldn’t touch the tippy top guys but the Mariners have a crap load of lottery tickets from like 12-30. If the Mariners asked for any top 10 guy for him then I’d hang up. He seems like a good player but just from the numbers he seems to be a quantity over quality IMO. But I also am no expert on him so maybe I’m undervaluing his worth.I like De La Cruz but I think he'll cost more than France and some prospects. Marlins going full rebuild (again) will probably be looking at top 10 to top 12 prospects.
I think you might be right on 2 lottery picks prospects in that 25 to 30 range. De La Cruz is under contract for this season so he would be a rental on the cheap end but his power number have increased over the last 2 yrs so Mariners could make a descent offer in the off-season.That is kind of what I meant two top 25 prospects but lower end.

But if Celestin keeps it up, the Mariners may be able to make a huge blockbuster with Emerson and Ford for somebody
I know we are just playing GM but I’d prefer they upgrade now. It may be Stockholm syndrome but it seems the in season deals do better than the offseason deals.I think you might be right on 2 lottery picks prospects in that 25 to 30 range.

Definitely right about that.I know we are just playing GM but I’d prefer they upgrade now. It may be Stockholm syndrome but it seems the in season deals do better than the offseason deals.
