Mariner Talk Chat Forum

What is so stupid about Stanton’s comments is that if they actually go through with what they’ve said, they could have saved prospects and money if they’d just gone after some of the free agent bats that were available. This is going to be more expensive as they will get a rent-a-player and lose goo...

At the rate the M’s are struggling, they will be 15 games out by game 40.

The Seattle Mariners, where good hitters come to die.

Does Stanton realize that had we actually gone after Ohtani, he would have had a huge revenue stream for his pockets?

Pinella would have been on their asses from the first game that was so bad.

Stanton is a business man, not a baseball man, so as long as they are profitable, they are a success. SS and DP help make them profitable so they aren’t going anywhere soon, even though I think that is part of the M’s problem. If the fans stop coming to the games, Stanton will “have to cut payroll” ...

So, since the Mariners probably won’t make the play offs and Julio striking out at an alarming rate, will he be on the block to “cut” payroll for 2025, since he’s on a pace for 180 to 200 K’s?

We just have to be patient. Maybe in ten more years, we’ll have a good season and actually compete with the rest of Major League Baseball.

I don’t know how good the kid is, but bringing him up when he batted .292 in Single A is going to end up like Kelenic. He will struggle at the major league level, get frustrated with the lack of coaching and the M’s will trade him prior to his break out year as part of a package to shed payroll.

We can only go 2-2 against Boston which is the worst of the AL East. I think it will be a long year. I don’t see the M’s being able to beat any of the other 4 in that division and unless any of the teams have serious injuries, the wild cards will be coming out of there and so we have to win the divi...
