Seattle Mariners 2022-2023 Offseason Thread

[NWinAZ]

Exactly. Iy also says they won't sign any big players (not super free agents, just good free agents) the rest of the decade. Because it doesn't matter if they sign them now and the contracts run through those years or they sign them in 2024 or 2025 or 2026 and they run through those years. The problem would be the same or worse because contracts only go up. And for those saying stay the trade route, who are we going to have left to trade? Plus you need those guys to balance the other contracts. So Mariners are just punting the rest of this decade. Enjoy it.

I don't how many of you listened to the post I put on here last week with Stanton back in April. He avoided answering all questions directly and said a few times he is hands off because that he doesn't know talent like Jerry and the scouts then when asked about the payroll (again this was April) said Jerry knows and it is in his hands. Pretty much passed the buck to Dipoto and of course Dipoto tells his newspaper buddies that its Stanton's call without directly saying it. He says just enough to elude to it. They are like Abbott and Costello.

Remember,..ok players matter..but..the differential..is what matters....
If they can get that..good,
They can get...players anywhere..they..want..
And I think.
.and hope.,it will..be the draft...
That..said...there will.be
Pitchers needed..soon..
A couple years....
And when..the pitchers start..arb..a couple of the best..young pitchers in a while..what do you think..
They will make..heck.
Flex..is making 8 mil..

 

[ulmax]

But..there are numbers...
That say..it's 93 mil..
And a number..that says projected..179 mil..
So what is it..cuz..93.mil.
Is below..league ave..
It is..108 mil,..and some change

 

[ulmax]

So if you say..the Cardinals..are spend 130 mil..and there numbers..are..
Almost the same..as the mariners..
So..I would say they have.
At least..20 mil..and prob.
30..to spend..
..or am I having,.brain trouble..,

Cuz it's not making sense..

 

[ulmax]

But if they tell fans and ball players..that..they .
Can't fill .the team..with good .players .that will.
Get the team.,to the playoffs..and world series,,.
If they say..that....who will watch.,.or go to the ball
Park...after.,the Japanese..
Basicly..shot..themselves in the foot....if they..say that..again..they will lose everyone .,..
So..fans thought..hey..we,have a chance ...so everything is going good.,but if they..
Don't get the last few players..in some form.
Then it looks like..the same thing,.......
We have seen ..before..

 

[ulmax]

And they don't have to sign.the big,4 SS.,…
Cuz .,they have..a good pitching.

But they do need..to make..
And put together..a good team...,
If it's kelenic..ok then..
Almost anyone will do..
For the right hand part..
That takes up..3rd.outfielder...
And 4 the...

Then a DH..

 

[ulmax]

Why..
Fans deserve..a good baseball..experience..in.ny
city..as well as Pittsburgh pa..Seattle..cuz..it's our money.,as well...right..we are paying for it....
And if our...team..is ready...for the world series.,and it is close..them we need to expect it.?..

..just like everyone..else ,...

 

[ulmax]

Yes .it's jerry dipoto.,ok then,......get your guys....

and see ya in the playoffs.... the pitching is awesome...yep..we know that..know...the marineres need...a couple.more..hitters..

 

[ulmax]

And if you don't think so..
Yeah..go..trip..on ya face..

That's it ulmax...chipper..

Hahaha....

 

[ulmax]

Baseball differential...2022....these are all plus..

Dodgers..331

Yankees..237
Houston …236.be nice to keep up..with these 2

atlanta..,..169
mets......,158
St.luois,..130.seattle..should at least..have this..
A 50 pct..improve...ok then

Toronto..91..Seattle beat this team..
Philidelphia...80..ws
Seattle..68
Cleveland..60
Tampa bay..50
San Diego.,.50

With haniger..out most of the..year..and..others injured.off and on..
.this is ok...with playoffs..

But also shows..at least.
60 to 70..to improve,.that.is more..than haniger..and Frazier .Houston..is.100.above that..

 

[ulmax]

Bottom line..maybe..100.more at least....that..is runs..not ..hits..

 

[ulmax]

Also which means.we need those 2 hitters..to be good ..so.the bench works well.,with..guys at Tacoma to fill in..

 

[ulmax]

Seattle could 3 team trade
With San Diego..and Miami..what an idea..lololl

 

[ulmax]

So a trade for santandler.and vavra.
Mariners..comp.bal.pick A.
And trammel...
Then mariners do not.have to,trade.hancock..so nice,

 

[ulmax]

In a 3 team..trade.i traded.
mcCougahn.
Berroa..
Castillo..RHRP..
Flexen..
For Snell....

 

[ulmax]

Something's get forgotten...sometimes..
And when..a year.. maybe moves on..we be are..where..we are..at the...time....mariners..are..where..they..are..right now..,..
Yes..the mariners..are..budget..minded.,.ok no. Prob...but the goals...should be...the same...they ..need..a
dH..no..matter..where..he plays..1b/of...would be the best spot ..which..white .
Could..do..if.he could..hit....
Or..France..DH.,if white..could hit....for me...he needs..to hit..230..
At least..and I would welcome..him....
But..until..he hits...300.
Or280..something..at Tacoma..
Or even gets a full year..in.
I need a diff guy....
So we are still..looking..

 

[ulmax]

So..Robert Perez..may be able..to do that...we don't know yet..but that is 2 lower lvl plans..still..in the future...,
Mariners need ..to buy..some..time..conforto..
On a one year..production
Contract...would.do..
10..or 12.mil..base..with climbing.bonuses..up.to.20..mil...or 25 mil...sounds fair...I mean..if he hits..250…260..ok then..
But..30 hrs..ok.the 20.mil....
But don't stop..there..what..
If he hits..40..well..I guess.
But I there would have to be a cap....

 

[ulmax]

Other wise.if conforto feels..good .I would have ..

Long ago.

.but a shoulder.can..be..and.is.
Unknown...

 

[ulmax]

But they where.expected.
To sign..a big..4.ss..
Conforto...can be a consultation prize....for know,or longer...we don't.know...
With a couple.trades..yet to go.,....

 

[ulmax]

In my fantasy...lolololo..

1.wong..2b.L/L..
2. Julio..Rodriguez..cf
3.france..1b..
4.Hernandez...RF\DH.
5.conforto..RF..DH..L/L.
6.Santandler...LF./dh
7.Suarez...3b...
8.Raliegh....catch..
9.Crawford....SS..L/L.

Bench..
Murphy,....catch..
Moore..utility
Haggerty...utility.
Kelenic...of..L/L...

The mariners..are.. missing..a 1b..alternative..
Would have to come.
From Tacoma..with..Moore..as emergency..1b..
If conforto..can.do heck..
Sign him up...
