Yikes. I should have thought of that. thanks BM... I recently read this blurb about the threats of AI and a famous thought experiment called the Paperclip Problem. Essentially, it argues that if an advanced AI is programmed with the sole objective to manufacture as many paperclips as possible, it w...

Sure but it can never commit physical violence unless it some how takes over a robot??? Since everything is run by computers, they could in theory cause havoc that would indirectly harm humans. Crash the power grid. Melt down reactors. Cause supply chains to grind to a halt. Drain or freeze all of ...

Hindsight is always 20/20, but I kind of wish we kept Ty France rather than DFAing him.

Dude remembered how to hit again.

2026
France 4.5 WAR .865 OPS $1.35M salary

Naylor -0.2 WAR .667 OPS $11.3M salary ($18.5M AAV)

Ug. Thanks. I needed that, bro.

For the most part, I like this plan. It was reasonable on paper and well thought out. Thanks, D-Train. For my own plan I was trying to find a way to get Otto, but I gave up for a bunch of reasons. If we could pull it off, he might be the critical missing piece (plus a bunch of other small ones to b...

$17.5M into 2x relievers on top of Munoz/Dominguez making $20M doesn't seem like anything Dipoto would ever be in on. Seiya is a fine add... but being 32... I don't see the M's paying that sort of $$ out given recent comments by Stanton. I take ownership of this plan - entirely. I put it together b...

Do the Mariners non-tender these reilievers (with projected 2027 arbitration salaries)? Jose A. Ferrer $1.6 million Eduard Bazardo $1.5 million Cooper Criswell $900,000 Carlos Vargas $800,000 Michael Rucker $800,000 https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/10/projected-arbitration-salaries-for-2027.html...

WNice job!! Really well researched and well done. I think that team could get us back to the playoffs for sure. But just a couple unforced errors takes it from and A to an A-. :) One pretty major and one minor. In what world is Raley and his 0.0 WAR and .723 OPS (.441 from June 1st on) and is still...

2026–27 Seattle Mariners Realistic Offseason Blueprint This pragmatic plan adheres to the Mariners' actual spending boundaries under John Stanton and Jerry Dipoto. It balances one marquee offensive signing (Seiya Suzuki) with the club's elite homegrown youth movement, while avoiding long-term, high-...
