I think I would, yes. Dan Wilson will play the aging vet who used to produce more than the guy who's never done anything, imo. Especially if he's owed millions. They'll want to see some playing time for their money. If Knizer on the roster means 10 fewer games where we see the backup catcher, we'll...

There is a time and a place for bunting. Bunting with two outs and a runner on second is asinine.

I agree, but is it that much worse than taking a walk on a close and likely hittable pitch? To me it is the same. Swing the damn bat!

If they want to use Cal at DH then one of the those guys will have to be on the bench obviously. It is total Frankenstein roster construction and if they would have just got one good right fielder they could have had another utility in Fielder but now they only have room for one. It's just idiotic ...

I think it involves the deadline but it's not deciding if you're going for it as much as extending the runway deal with your younger players. It isn't so much making a decision on a trade but delaying a decision into the season. And I think it's been how dipoto has been operating. He's tended to lo...

So another day of looking at Mariner news and seeing just pictures of crickets and tumbleweeds. Help me understand their logic. We pick up two veteran ball players at the deadline which pushes us to one game from the prize. We sign one vet and yet lose two others to FA. The front office cannot expe...

Defense shmefense. Defense will never give you a lead. And a lead is the only thing that will ever give you a win. Get bats. Score runs. Win. Yep. But it’s nice to have both. Ergo, Okamoto is a safer bet. IMHO. As I said in another thread, if Williamson can't be at least an average MLB hitter he's ...

Don't know if the numbers match the perception, but in the last couple years of his life, my dad absolutely hated Jose Paniagua. After a while, every time Paniagua entered the game, dad would announce that the Mariners were sure to lose now, turn off the TV and head for bed

I guess he hasn't kicked the bucket just yet!

Oh wait....

All I know is that if Kelenic is on the White Sox team on Opening Day MLB needs to have him pee in a cup...

Great comments section on the Mariners for Brendan Donovan offseason sweepstakes. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/mariners-trade-rumors-brendan-donovan-jurrangelo-cijntje-ketel-marte.html#comment-3923925 Even if Williamson was Brooks Robinson defensively he needs to have at least a MLB avera...

But we can't trade our prospects. They might become stars. You know, like Ackley, Kelenic, that kid that was sure to be the next Randy Johnson etc, etc, etc...
