The Mariners are a shit show. Every GM should call Jerry Dipoto and offer slugs and he will take on your worst salary and send a decent player and cash your way.

What do you guys think about Segura to the Phillies? If it goes through that's a good pickup for Philadelphia IMO.

Phillies managed to dump Santana in the deal. That's a huge win.

That's Mariners baseball... Trade away talent, don't win ...

They're the new Kansas City Royals. Sort've.

KC went to a couple World Series and won one recently ... Mariners have never been, and probably never will ... They simply don't have baseball guy's running a baseball team....

that's an awesome trade for the Phils IMO. Clears up the 1B/OF logjam a bit and allows them to move Hoskins to 1st. maybe it's just me, but Crawford's minor league track record the last 3 years seems a bit underwhelming especially for someone that's been consistently ranked top 20. Segura's also under contract through 2022 and he's been one of the better infielders in baseball over the last 3 years.

 

[navamind]

a lot of teams could have used Segura too, whether it was at shortstop or at 2nd base. surprised there wasn't more of a market.

 

[The Q]

Looks like only $20 million coming back for Mets, not loving it. $20 million per for ages 36-41, post PED Csno is rough, especially giving up big time trade chips.

Here's hoping Diaz becomes the next great closer.

don't forget the over $30m in dead weight (via Bruce and Swarzak) that Seattle is eating. That counts too. It's just an easier way to get Commish approval than paying $60 straight out of the Cano deal.

yeah, idk what Seattle is doing there.

how do you get zero prospects and take on an inflated deal?

Philly improves their OF defense by default, moves a guy they never should've signed (because of both age and position), and upgrades at SS.

Just baffling. I know usually you can argue these guys are professionals and know more than fans, but when it comes to the mets and mariners, I'm certain that there are fans out there who could do it better.

Sources: Patrick Corbin signing is imminent. He will receive a 6-year contract, as @BNightengale first indicated this morning. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Sources: #Yankees made a 5-year offer to Patrick Corbin but did not increase the years beyond that, an indication that he is signing elsewhere. @MLB @MLBNetwork




Well, shit. So much for the hometown discount.

Damn. Thought for sure my Phillies had him.

Damn. Thought for sure my Phillies had him.

Me too, especially after the GM said "we won't be out-bid"

Then promptly got out-bid.

 

[The Q]

I'm wondering what this means for Bryce Harper's future in DC.

Nats big 3 $ for 2019

Strasburg $35M

Scherzer $35M

Corbin $26M (guess-timation based on him beating Darvish's deal)


They were already at $180M before Corbin. Hard to see them bringing Harper back now with what he'd command.

 

[nynasty]

Somewhere, JA Happ's phone just started ringing.

Off the hook.

I wonder if the Yanks just bring him back rather than go big(ish) on Keuchel.

My bad, Nats are at $164M for 2019, not counting Corbin.

The owner is basically on his death bed.

He wants a title.

He may just go all in this time.

Sure hope so. Keuchel pitched awesome against the Yanks, so so against everyone else in the division.
