Mariner Talk Chat Forum

Would the Mariners trade Luis Castillo to the Mets for the right-handed bat of Luis Robert Jr. just to save money? Could the Mets throw in a reliever? Would the Mets even be interested? Robert, who turns 29 years old on the trade deadline, has a 2026 salary of $20 million with a $2 million buyout of...

At least he didn't get falsely accused of sexual assault or something crazy or the M's would never have been interested... https://twitter.com/i/status/2071397688902402520 https://x.com/i/status/2071397688902402520 Next time we play the Indians, Hedges should take a dirt bath every time up.

Small samples and recency bias are a bad combination.

FWIW the ZiPS rest-of-season projections have Dominic Canzone with 0.6 WAR in 72 games, Luke Raley with 0.7 WAR in 65 games and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. with 0.6 WAR in 64 games. Of course, Canzone is earning the league minimum and Raley $2.05 million this year while Gurriel has a 2026 salary of $13 mill...

Almost seems as though Donovan needs to DH. The dude is brittle. He has played in an average of 72% of his teams games played in the last four plus years. That is worse when you consider in 2024? He played in 153. So, 126 out of 162 in 2022 95 out of 162 in 2023 153 out of 162 in 2024 118 out of 16...

Randy Arozarena on Friday night and Cole Young tonight registered 10th-inning walkoff hits by going the other way on pitches well outside the strike zone.

Good grief. Everyone seems to forget that Castillo kept the Mariners' rotation together last year when everyone was hurt, even with his reduced speed. Look, I am not a huge Castillo fan, but I do recognize he is getting better as he pitches. Older pitchers do eventually lose the ability to throw as...

This week I get five games of Felnin Celesten and Luke Stevenson as the Hillsboro Hops host the Everett AquaSox.
