Seattle Mariners 2022-2023 Offseason Thread

[ulmax]

I've been out of town for the last two weeks or so, thought I'd give my feedback on the three notable moves we've made in the meantime:

- A.J. Pollock: Not exactly what I was hoping for, but he's an insurance policy when Kelenic fails. At this point my only hope for Kelenic is that the elimination of the shift will help him when he puts balls in play. Sadly he hasn't done that enough.

- Tommy La Stella: Another "not exactly what I was hoping for," but at least now we have a vet who can fill in across the diamond in case someone gets hurt.

- International signing class: Saved the best for last, looks like we hit a home run here. Felnin Celesten looks like he might be our next big international signing. MLB.com said he might have the highest upside of any international SS prospect in a decade. I'll happily take that.

Probably going to be slow between now and spring training. Given the signing of Pollock and La Stella seems like the Mariners are content with the roster as constructed.

I've probably spent too much time reading positive articles about the Mariners but this is promising:

So while we are all still glowing in the aftermath of being orgasmically elated by the return of Aaron Goldsmith (yes, that was sarcasm), I was wondering if Dipoto knew that Adalberto Mondesi was available and made a bid for him? Now the Red Sox have him and if the guy can somehow get through a season unscathed, he may just put up a decent season in a Red Sox uniform and the band box division that is the AL East.
