All we can hope for is Trader Jerry has on his Lets make a Deal costume this winter and scrounges up at least 1 solid outfielder to replace Haniger whom I am near certain will be gone ( and I am glad he is )

Remember he is the same guy that got us the Jesse The Franchise Wanker...lol.

We need to add 2 solid outfielders like you described and one more bat. Nimmo would be nice. Conforto would be low cost as a 4th guy. Add them and a tough RH OF plus a 2B or SS and I am for the offense. Still want 1 or 2 more bullpen arms.

Evan White continues to rehab a core injury; it should be mid-November before he’s able to resume baseball activity. There’s no new injury, it’s just been a difficult one to rehab, apparently.

Just to be clear, those aren't my comments. Those are all from an article about each subject.

What I read is He wants 4 outfielders with Haggerty and Moore as extras.He wants 2 lefties and 2 righties. He still says he likes Winker and Kelenic which means he is looking for 1 RH outfielder with 1 OF DHing different days. If he is telling the truth, we are screwed.We had the worst hitting outfield group in baseball and that is with the ROY. We need 2 stud OF's to join Jrod. I will say it again, Lewis and Kelenic have to be spring training invites with a chance to make the team and not pencilled in roster players.

I heard it the same way you do. But I am parsing through his words and essentially thinking he is really wanting a CF. JRod is a serviceable CF but they need him in RF and let LF have the 6 guys fight for it. They need a gold glove contender (not necessarily a gold glove winner) at least in one spot in the OF and they don’t have it. I really can’t imagine Lewis and Kelenic both will be with the club. I think both will get dealt. IMO Jerry is going to go big on Bogaerts then trade all of the excess guys like Lewis and Kelenic for a CF.

Crap I’d love for them to toss all of the MLB ready guys for Ohtani because the artists formerly known as the California Angels need a MLB roster, not just the two possible GOAT’s in Trout and Ohtani.

I love Bogaerts and would be really excited if they do what you jus mentioned. As far as Ohtani goes, that is just to good to really happen. Somebody earlier mentioned Dodgers and I can see that. He would probably refer that and they have more to give than us.

I would go back on Reynolds from Pirates. He fits are need perfectly. Not sure if he is GG caliber, but would like his bat. Add Nimmo and trade for Reynolds and that changes our OF completely. Sign Bagaerts and the offense is as good as it has been in decades. Let Winker, Kelenic, Trammell, Lewis and ? fight for the other spot. That is a better problem to have.

Seattle fans really made me proud to be a fan. Had we not had the drought I am not sure that everyone would’ve stayed. I’m guessing everyone there were either Husky or Coug fans as well and didn’t think it would bleed that far over. I couldn’t have blamed you had you bounced, but that game is why I tell all of the people that I know to pound sand when they say baseball is boring. It was scoreless for 17 innings but it was more exciting than anything the NFL or NBA could ever give a fan IMO.

Can't remember if I mentioned this, but initially I was hoping that somehow I'd be able to attend the Mariners game and get into the Husky game after, but ironically I saw posts from friends on social media showing people at the UW game standing around watching the Mariners on the concourse, even after the Husky game ended.

Lewis is gold glove calaber..if he is the same as his rookie year..
Question is...can he run...
Like his rookie year...
It's a thing
.I'm waiting to see..
Cuz..yes or..no...it will make a differance....and it was his calling card
And that kind of defence..and 260..is ok
With hrs.

Luis arraez...toro replace

Nimmo..LF/c.f.
Conforto...RF

[ulmax]

If you dump bellringer trout and haniger fit..
For DODGERS and mookie Betts
With Gallo and bellringer on the bench..
Or DH..or taylor..
Haniger fits on DODGERS as well
And it's closer to Santa Cruz
. A couple of good clubs there for
haniger.. Dodgers and mariners

I don't think he fits on..
San fracisco..as well..
.
