If Dipoto is willing to trade some talent, Boyd would be a good short term target.

The same kind of trade the Astros have made the last few years.
Boyd would be a good pick up, not in the same ballpark as Cole at all but his peripheral numbers are good, he has 4 years of control and he would make the rotation deep.
He would be a great guy to pick up for the #2 spot behind Cole.

All of a sudden we don't have the pitching problems we had this season and aren't all that far from contending. Say, 1 or 2 more good additions after that.

I'm not sold that all of Sheffield, Dunn and Kikuchi will keep starting roles. I'd prefer to see them fill in at the front end of the rotation and let the back end sort itself out.
I think we hope that 1 or 2 of those guys fill in at the 4-5 spot. Gilbert will pitch for Seattle next year by July imo and I think he is the only guy in the Mariners system I think will be a #2 starter or better. Kirby had a chance too, but I have to see how he does next year. He is long term a #4 at worst.

I think Dunn ends up as the closer long term. I don't trust him to go 5-6 innings regularly, but in the pen, if he cam get up to high 90s like he's supposed to be capable of, that is pretty dang good. No need to move him there now though. Give him more time in Arkansas to work on his changeup, and call him up in June, give him 8-10 starts to see how he does.

Sheffield needs to start in Seattle. Do or die time for him.

Definitely need 1 more starter though. Cole would be great, but it ain't happening. Someone like Boyd would be a pretty good alternative though.

We all would have said the same about Cano.

Cole does not appear to be a bright lights and stardom type of player. Could be wrong.

I would approach him with a paper showing the taxes he'd pay in Seattle compared to other places, like he would with the LAAoA.

If that was a selling point, he'd stay in Houston.

Just to be clear, the “asshole” is a now deleted spammer, not a forum brother.
