Seattle Mariners 2022-2023 Offseason Thread

[Msfann]

Now is the offseason for the Mariners and you are the GM, what moves do you make?

 

[ulmax]

Jose cabellero..hitting 400 in Arizona fall
league...#7..in ave 9th in ops..
C abellero could be a key..for Seattle
In infield..personel..at tacoma..
To start with...prob 40 man soon

Robert Perez jr..tied for 3rd in rbis
Ave is only 226..but better..than nolve marte...

I think these 2 guys move iup..and the mariners need them to as well..

 

[ulmax]

starting a 40 man..line up..

1open...for me a trade for arraez 2b twinns

2julio rod I would not mind put him at leadoff..but i don't think he belongs there

3france..1b

4..open....for me conforto fits

5 haniger..i think he will sign with the
mariners and they need him...and healthy

6 Suarez ..such a good job at 3b..we
Forgot all about seager...but still wish
Him following seas

7kelenic......LF
8raliegh..catch
9crawford..L/L..ss


10 murphy..if healthy..you won't find a better back up..so just stay..with murphy..

11 here is where it gets dicy..moore has had a good season...in my model..twinns won't trade arraez without moore..
Cuz that is what fits..for them..
Winker..twinns needva DH and swannie..TWINS need pitchingi
ts hard to move forward..with no pain..but there will be
some trades..mariners need to get better
And knock off...asteros...
So

11..open..

12haggerty

13santana..i think they will re=SIGN HIM
until white comes up..as 1b/DH

14 lewis..OF

pitchers next...

 

[ulmax]

Toro 2b tacoma...im not give up on him
Cabellero...ss.. I think he will..be added..
But I don't think..he is ready...just yet

So mariners will need someone in place
of moore..could it be frazier...yes..it could

But I think a trade for a guy could happen as well.
And I think Yankees will be after frazier
Cuz that is who fits for them..
And free agents have to listen to offers
or there agents will cry..lolo

That's just my model..a lot of people
Have them..that is mine.....lololl

 

[ulmax]

Others on 40 man..

Albert Rodriguez...RF
Juan then...RHP
Drew ellis...3b
Even white..1b

Derrick hill..cf..no I don't think they let him go ..but they might..

Trammell
could get traded..or not..add Marlow to tacoma..and it's a mariners outfield
And hill

Brian O keefe..im not sure..catch
With torrens..catch
Sheffield...i think will be traded..hard to
say..

Now is the offseason for the Mariners and you are the GM, what moves do you make?

Follow another team? Is that an option? 45 years of 6+ months fun each year is crazy but we keep coming back for more. I read on Facebook some fan posted that we should give them a parade. For taking 21 years to do what they are paid to do? SMH! I enjoyed the Jays series, button parade worthy. Sorry, off topic.

Back to the original post:

I don't know if you give Winker another chance or deal him for a bag of balls if you could even get that for him.

Not sure if France is the answer. Guys that fail two years in a row late in the season have to be really looked at. Same goes for Sewald and Castillo. Time is up on Haniger unless it is a reasonable one year deal and you roster him as the 4th outfielder/DH guy. Do not go into the offseason with Lewis and Kelenic inked in as making the roster. They are tryout players nothing more. Add two more stud arms for the pen. Trade Swanson since they obviously have no faith in him.

 

[ulmax]

Parade..no I don't think so..
Champions ships are one thing..for a parade..but..

The work is not done..and there is no
championship..
Sonics
Seahawks
Yeah..they desurved it...

Mariners..not yet..

I think Castillo and seawall are set up
guys..
Seawall out of position..was closing.
But Edwin diez..could help with that..
As a free agent...closer..

Edwin Diaz
Munoz..
Close..is my..suggestion

Castillo
Seawall
Set up

Sadler
LhP..
Especial

Murphee
Brash

flexen
Boyd
long

Is 10..ok

No, seriously something something Conforto something something with lots of ....'s

For real, just stop carrying sub .220 hitters as key players. Find upgrades everywhere you can.

Don't fuck up the 'good vibes', but upgrade bats and tweak the pitching.

If you mean..judge..you know it's not happening..so why go there..judge is a yankee..and will remain so..
As with many guys..you would want..
Like Tre turnur..as always..they resign
conforto..does fit..and he is from Seattle

But feel free to submit your own..suggestions.

Talent > Good Vibes

 

[ulmax]

Or you could look up...astros...killers
I have not done that...yet

 

[ulmax]

Anytime your team goes 18 innings
With any team..you have fairly good pitching..

And against the astros..so some tweaks
Will prob do.

 

[ulmax]

A trade you guys may like I do not
ray for snell...

I would rather...gonzales for Snell
And it fits in a certain senario..

Where rodon goes to San Diego.
But this is a prob late..after winter meetings thing..
I don't expect much..tinkering..with the
rotation..unless the mariners or San diego sign rodon..

Castillo
ray...L..if Ray can develop a knuckle curve watch out
Gilbert
Snell..Lgonzales
Kerby

Boyd
F lexen
D ollard

 

[ulmax]

Boyd works for Seattle bull pen..

So heck..resign him.
Got Alvarez out..but let a hit..but not a run...

Matt Boyd Mercer island...

 

[NWinAZ]

My realistic team, and by realistic I mean M's can afford this.

C - Raleigh
1B - France
2B - Drury
3B - Suarez
SS - Turner
LF - Benitendi
CF - $400M
RF - Adolis Garcia*
DH - Haniger (1 year deal)

Bench - Santana, Moore, Haggerty, Murphy

SP1 - Castillo
SP2 - Gilbert
SP3 - Rodon
SP4 - Kirby
SP5 - Ray (we are stuck with him)

CL - Diaz
RP - Munoz
RP - Taylor Rogers
RP - Brash
RP - Sewald
RP - Swanson
RP - Sadler
RP - Festa

*Trade Kelenic, Crawford, Lewis, Toro, Minor Leaguers and Pen Arms to get enough talent to get Garcia and young prospects.

They would be $200M+ in payroll but the fans showed they would fill the place if a winner was made.

 

[ulmax]

Mariners need hitters..arraez is that a 300
hitter
So is conforto..
With a car.255_.260..not 220..30 Hrs a year..60 bases on balls a year
you can't count his last year..when he was playing ingured
Great arm in outfield

I'll go with binantendi...

Don't think drury..is as good as he seems
On sandiego..they are masking..his weajness....it will come out..when they dont want it to...


Turner....ok
garcia...let me look..but prob ok..
Rodgers...ok
Rodon..ok..mariners are a club who can afford him..with a 120 mil
160 is league ave..

Still trade gonzales and San diego..
Is the spot..

He had a great season with a bad Cinci team. He won't cost a ton. Not a lot of 2B options in free agency this year.
