Pull a Matt Olson. Sign him and extend him. He’d be worth it if he’d be willing to play for the M’s for the long term.

The Braves did it. So, too, could we if we had the cahones.

Yes, but he would be 2 years older and then have to learn on the fly. When he learns how to pitch, which he has stated he wants to do, it will set him up for a bigger payday at 29. I'm confused. Isn't Sasaki already a pitcher? Do you mean to say that when he learns how to pitch to MLB hitters that ...

I guess the dodgers have the largest bonus pool available. Mariners must be further down the list. So the dodgers end up the favorite anyway They may be able to trade for more bonus pool money. They could also rescind offers to the players they've committed to for January. This is the 2024 Internat...

Best move in about five offseasons

Do we get Aaron Judge in return?

But thank jeebus they're keeping Turner and his veteran clubhouse presence. The towel snapping in the showers, Ta...

LOL the sense I got is either that think the team is fine as is or they realize they are horrible at identifying hitters so they are going to just quit trying.

Fun times. https://www.mlb.com/mariners/news/mariners-takeaways-from-gm-meetings-2024 Son of a Mitch. Well that caused me to shart a little. So if I've got this straight: we are committed to bringing back a post-prime 40 year old to platoon with a 1B who received death threats for his inability to ...
