Here is another site to talk Mariners if interested. I just joined but never know how much I will join in. I listen to these two guys who do a M's podcast Locked On Mariners and they started this page after Elon decided you couldn't link other sites on twitter which they did for their podcast on YouTube.

I will take a 20 HR loss for team totals if we have nobody in the starting line up batting below .235 after 1 month of baseball

And that .235 holds serve all season long

That would be honestly great and I would after an off-season with the moves they have made plus your idea then they are equal in terms of talent with the Astros. But I don’t think they were actually going to try for a SS and Rondon will cost to much money for their budgetary concerns.

Welp scratch that with Darby off to Chicago. I'm tired of this franchise being on a budget. Seriously, this franchise is close to making a run for the WS but is still a step behind Houston. Adding 2 pieces through FA IMO is better than trading away the farm for high priced rentals for a half season.

I actually started listening to them. It is a hate listen though because Colby doesn’t have a coherent thought since the season ended.

If the Padres can lock up Soto I think they will dethrone the Astros as the team everyone is hunting. Their MLB roster is pretty stacked and they still have a killer farm system. The Mariners made the big Castillo trade and now their farm system is still rated highly but they don’t have horses. The Padres made the Soto deal and still have enough guys to make another big trade.

Personally I think Judge is essentially a new Nelson Cruz. So I think he will be fine for the contract as a DH. Judge has been better than Cruz but had the Mariners signed Cruz to a 10 year deal in 2014 I think we could argue it would’ve been worth it.

I think Cruz is an anomaly. Don't know how many guys outside of the steroid era who hit like he did from 35-40. He averaged 35 HRs .282/.363/.551 per season over that span and that includes the covid shorted season in which he hit 16 HRs in 55 games, which would be 44 HRs over 150 games.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Anyone here else think the Mariners are done this offseason?

They've made it clear they're not going to spend money - and there isn't much left to spend money on - so barring some sort of surprising trade I think this is pretty much the team we'll have in 2023.

For better or worse, Dipoto has shown he's not going to get desperate so I think that rules out a Bryan Reynolds trade as I don't think we have the prospect capital to trade for him unless we were to throw in Kirby or Gilbert which I personally wouldn't want to see.

I hope the speculation that this is partially due to an attempt to lure Ohtani next season is true, but I'm not overly optimistic.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Another question for you guys...

If the season started tomorrow, how would you grade the offseason?

Personally I'd give it a C. They may have upgraded over Hangier with Toescar, and slightly upgraded at second with Kolten Wong. On paper the team is slightly better than last year but severely lacking at depth. We don't have a true DH, we have a glaring hole in LF, and nobody that can realistically replace Ty France or Suarez if either of them get hurt.

 

[ulmax]

This is the question..
Enquiring minds want to..know.

Who..on the mariners...is. #35...Hernandez.,
..or Suarez..
Will..
The real.,#35...please..
Stand up...

Or win the playoff..whichever...lololo

 

[ulmax]

Yeah .the bar..for win words s series...is..214.…but..20 more would. Be ok.

But yeah .Moore..could..
But I don't know...
Raliegh..is also..likely..
I'm a bit shaky..on Moore... L lol l

 

[ulmax]

To this point..a c..is ok..but .they will trade..they..have said they....would..and I would as well...
And..have..writing..my..
Trade ideas..
But...I'm not..the only guy..
In the room...
So post your trade ideas..
