Seattle Mariners 2022-2023 Offseason Thread

[ulmax]

Marlowe is a strike out machine and that is in the minors. Should be interesting what he does in the pros. 30-40% K rate I am guessing.

well..he would only see..back up duty...for know.....but he works on it and at it...ussually comes on..late in the season....which is nice...

by back up CF..i mean tacoma......not #4th..outfield....for know..

so a santader..trade..covers..kelenic..and takes a bit of presure..off of him...as a #4th outfield....and santander could Dh...if not in lf..so it works..

 

[ulmax]

but you would still need a vavra type..or....hosmer..for a back up..1base..or back up...Dh..

.only hosmer..works as a one shot...
and done guy...

seattle may try,,in desperation..prob..

 

[ulmax]

interesting...that hosmer..does not try..miami..and he lives in florida as far as i know,...they need Ofence

 

[ulmax]

baltimore..would not say...vavra is a spare...but he is for..them...why he would be avalable...and prob westburgh..in his place..

MLB Trade Rumors

Will the Mariners add a bat?

At the beginning of this offseason, there was something of a logjam in Seattle’s outfield, which was only exacerbated by their acquisition of Teoscar Hernandez from the Blue Jays. Since then, however, the Mariners have shipped out Kyle Lewis and Jesse Winker in separate deals, leaving them in a position where it could behoove them to add another bat to their outfield/DH mix. As things stand, Jarred Kelenic, Dylan Moore, and Cooper Hummel appear to be the primary internal options set to mix and match between left field and DH, and the addition of another bat could solidify that mix considerably. That could come through free agency, as Jurickson Profar remains on the market as an everyday option, while the likes of David Peralta and AJ Pollockcould be added as more complementary options. It would be no surprise, though, if the Mariners decided to explore the trade market, given the thinned out market for starting pitchers and Seattle’s willingness to deal one of Chris Flexen or Marco Gonzales to improve other areas of the roster. Should they choose to go this route, striking a deal with the Cardinals or Orioles could make some sense, as both teams have an excess of position player talent and could benefit from the addition of an arm like Flexen or Gonzales.

I am almost to the point to being happier with adding O'Neill via trade for Marco or Flexen and signing either Peralta or Pollock. Then use Kelenic for a trade of a very nice SP even if we add a few pieces to the deal.

If the thought of 1 of the: Kelenic - Moore and Hummel trifecta penciled into your line-up on a nightly basis doesn't scare them into making a legit effort at signing / trading for a legit big leaguer OF'er DH ( legit being a pedigree of success in MLB at both positions ) I don't know what will.

If we break camp and Trammel is in the dugout nightly with Kelenic our top brass has failed. Bundle Trammel and Gonzalez up and shop them around with a bag of money for a kicker and see what the market produces. if by the end of May and 120 at bats or so and Kelenic is batting below .225 ship him out to the best offer available or back to Tacoma for the rest of the season.

no way gonzales gets traded..to cardinals...flexen..yeah..he fits...

this makes sense..
Orioles could make some sense, as both teams have an excess of position player talent and could benefit from the addition of an arm like Flexen or Gonzales.

but mariners woud be left..with finding...a LHp....for #5..or bring up hancock...

only..
trevor rodgers (miami)would work..for me....35..points...seattle does not have...

 

[NWinAZ]

if by the end of May and 120 at bats or so and Kelenic is batting below .225 ship him out to the best offer available

Only problem here is once we decide to use Kelenic the season, he is ours unless we give him away. If you don't trust him, ten you must deal him now or roll the dice with him.

 

[ulmax]

only..
trevor rodgers (miami)would work..for me....35..points...seattle does not have...
or a trade for snell...handing them..trevor rodgers....then..only...dervish..to sign next year..for san diego...

snell...rolland- smith......pithing class........get signed up...now

 

[ulmax]

yeah ..flexxen is the guy..to trade..in those senarios.....but i cant get...a good value on him...basicly...what i was trying to do earlyer..

gonzales works..for long relief...so i never thought about trading him..


yeah flexxen has 4 years...till free agentsy

 

[ulmax]

miami is like seattle...and they have trvor rodgers to give...while..keeping 2 other left handers...with lopez..there ace..and he is good...if you add flexen..ok then..miami needs htting..and there ss is old...

sandiego..has a minors ss..that would do it...miller....for rodgers


darvish..
rodgers....L/L
musgrove..
morjon....L/L
flexen..
martinez
groom...L/L

 

[ulmax]

IF BALTIMORE..WANTS FLEXXEN...THEN..
DOLLARD..AND McCoughan..to san diego....loloolo...im sure san diego,...knows them all...lololo..

in baltimore..dollard could be up..this year..bull pen..or rotation

 

[ulmax]

if you say..flexxen..is a 14 -6...pitcher..and i belive..he is..he would have been equal..to james talion...3.91..era..

flexexn...3.73..era..instead..he went..8-9......if you ask me its messed up....

 

[ulmax]

gonzales..is going the other way...which is why i would be abliged to put him in the bull pen.....10 and 15...ok...right..413 era..

lets look for his best stuff....

50 MarcoGonzales P	SEA	10	15	4.13	32	32	0	0	0	0	183.0	194	97	84	30	7	50	103	1.33	.271

instead of starting him...32..games..start him...10..or 15,...depending....

 

[ulmax]

in the end you can only...do...what you can do......thats why..it takes..a team......

 

[ulmax]

at any rate..thats,..the way i see..it..ussually does not happen......i will be moving to 2023 draft soon..
