to the Cubs for James Norwood
Top Target: Is Gordon enough? If so, he could slide into the Chicago Cubs’ lineup in exchange for reliever James Norwood, who could be a healthy add for the Mariners. His MLB time was limited last season, but at 25 he had a solid season with Triple-A Iowa over 45 games.

guess there was talk of the Cubs picking him up at the deadline

Sounds good to me.

Guys, just be ready. Dipoto is going to bring in 1-2 starting pitchers, and they won't be exciting names. Try not to b**** about it too much, they are just placeholders and insurance for guys like Sheffield, Dunn and Gilbert. Also, Mallex Smith and/or Dee Gordon will probably still be in the roster. It will suck, but it's probably going to happen.
A few places in the Central where Dee Gordon might be utilized....

I'm looking for Dipoto to bolster the starting pitching and move some position players this winter.... Possibilities to look into ......Detroit has no lock for 2nd base moving into 2020. Dee Gordon to Detroit or one of our catchers in some kind of package for Matthew Boyd......

Dee Gordon or an outfield prospect other than Rodriguez and Kellenic to Cleveland for Aaron Civale or Zach Plesac, Dee Gordon to White Sox to hold second awaiting Nick Madigal's debut and to mentor error prone great hitting youngster Tim Anderson at SS....

The White Sox need pitching.... they are about to burst onto the scene as a contender with a great rookie catcher in James McCann, and great rookies in the outfield with Eloy Jiminez and Luis Robert..... The White Sox also could use left hand hitters at either dh or center to balance their attack....Vogelbach ? or Fraley? Who could we target, I'd like to take Dave Dunning, RH prospect who is undergoing Tommy John and won't be available until 2020. Patience would be needed... but I view next season as loading up... the way the White Sox have spent the last two years loading up.... These are just a few thoughts about the trade possibilities in the AL Central... I'd like to hear from other fans about other possiblilites in other divisions... And I hope Dipoto works just as hard this winter as he has in the past ....


McCann’s no rookie, has 5 full seasons.
You're right about McCann but he emerged as an all around offensive force and a fully capable defensive catcher last year.... Breakout season, I should have said....

They should be targeting two guys at this talent potential or above.

That's not bitching, it's just saying they should be filling the spots at the top of the rotation, not the bottom, because the chances of all of these young arms working out are 0.0

Chris Archer and his 5+ ERA and FIP can go Fuck himself and take lookout landing with him. He hasn't even been decent since 2015

Johns OD predictions.

I mean there are a handful of obvious TC's.
OF: Mallex, Domingo
IF: Dee
Even Haniger, Seager, Narvaez, Marco could be moved if you think you get good enough return.

Then again, JD is a mover and a shaker so,,.

That's what you dont get, signing some stopgap bum is guaranteeing them a spot by ensuring nobody better is ahead of them.

Stop bitching about people bitching, makes you look like a cunt.
What you don't get is this team isn't going to spend huge money this offseason and they are going to give the young guys a chance. You keep stay in your fantasy land where somehow the Mariners throw out a 330 million dollar deal to 3 different players this offseason and they all decide to come to the Mariners instead of teams that are expected to contend or you can look at reality and see it isn't happening and move on.

And quit being an ass hole, it makes you look like an ass hole.

They dont need to spend big to add to the front of this terrible rotation instead of another Tommy Milone or Wade Leblanc, trades would be much more likely.

I don't mind being an asshole to idiots.

There's no excuse for continuing the charade with Dee Gordon and Mallex Smith on the team any longer either.

Sitting on their thumbs this winter with those bums and scrub pitchers added is an absolute loser, pussy strategy. Playing for the draft pick this season was classless enough, time to move on. I'm incredibly weary of this organization and the enabling fans that eat up the "tank and rebuild" nonsense.

And guys like Sheffield and Dunn become placeholders for the next promising player, and so on.

No. There's no excuse for wasting spots on placeholders because guys like Dunn haven't earned anything and likely never will.

Holding a spot for them is just putting off being good for another year.

Sheffield, Dunn and Gilbert. Might as well call them the new Big 3 and see which Big 3 ends up having made more of a contribution.

Maybe it will be different with this Big 3...... Guess we'll know in 5 years.
And here is the b****ing I m talking about. Nobody is giving Dunn and Sheffield a guaranteed spot. Gilbert is the only one I think anyone has penciled in for a sure spot on the roster. Dunn and Sheffield will get their chance next year, but they may need time in the minors, Dunn especially.

Now I'd love to got Cole or Strausberg, but odds are that won't happen, so I'll have hope for the guys that afte actually on the Mariners rather than b****about not signing them for the next 3-4 seasons

SO MEAN...but damnit, if I didn't chuckle a bit.
