Has there been a prior team in the World Series with as mediocre a regular season record as the Diamondbacks? Cardinals won 83 games in 2006 and then won the WS. Wow, much obliged, DT. Arizona’s surge is totally baffling, outside of a few star players, their lineup is mediocre. They barely made the...

Has there been a prior team in the World Series with as mediocre a regular season record as the Diamondbacks?

Btw, from 2009-14, Bochy won 3 World Series with SF.

But overall, for 25 years, he had a just under losing record, incl with SD.

They stole Garcia from the Cards.

Big if, but if deGrom returns and can stay healthy, they have much to look forward to.

Mark Trumbo for Steve Clevenger. Compoundied by replacing Trumbo with Adam Lind off the scrap heap. Clevenger Made some political tweet and never saw the light of day again. Trumbo hit 47 Home Runs to lead the League. Lind posted a -.3 WAR for the M's and we missed the playoffs by 2 games. Weird tu...

Marty! Varitek and Lowe for Slocumb. What is worse is after that trade we traded Cruz Jr. for two more mediocre relievers. I think Cruz Jr. would have been good here. That said, it has to be Adam Jones for Erin Bedard, doesn't it? That was so bad. They dumped Cruz Jr, a first round pick, after 49 g...

How many times have the M's been seduced by much-hyped "young stud" Yankees?

Jesus Montero, Russ Davis, others.

The Mariners' batting average in trades makes 2021 Kelenic look like Ted Williams. Of course all teams have made lousy trades, but the M's have gotta be Up There. Trading Varitek, a switch-hitting catcher with power, along with Lowe, a young pitcher for whom Lou had no patience, I assume he approve...

Lots of trades to choose from Tino Martinez, Jim Mecir, Jeff Nelson to NY for Russ Davis, Sterling Hitchcock And of course David Ortiz to Minnesota for Dave Hollins David Ortiz and Edgar in the same lineup? Matter of degree, the Tino deal I thought was slighly less horrid. Trading established playe...
