Sometimes You Have To Lose To Win

He's hyped because of his 2021 season

[Sibelius Hindemith]

The rebuild has failed. Julio is a bust. The starting pitching is good but not great. Time to get out the pitchforks and torches.

Logan Evans had another lights out performance last night and could be a huge trade chip.

Can call it like it is...

M's missed their chance when they didn't trade for Matt Olson or Juan Soto.

Those young, elite bats aren't on the market right now.

And when they passed on the chance to sign Corey Seager and Marcus Semien.

The Rangers did in 3 years what the Mariners have failed to do (despite trying) in the last 10 years.

Oh. And let’s not forget trading for Arraez this season. His impact bat wouldn’t totally fix our offense, but it would spark it to a little. That dude is going crazy in San Diego.

Wow, damn Straight! Hitting .419!!!! 14-23 his last 5 games...

It cost the Friars a reliever, and their #6,9 and 13 prospects.

It's probably the equivalent of a Voth or a Saucedo, and then Farmelo, Arroyo and Aidan Smith. This would hardly have dented our farm.

I'd say this year it wasn't really in the cards to trade for him given the abundance of 2B's...

But when he was traded to Miami? Hell yes.

Don't see it happening. Remember, DiPoto actually SOUGHT out these guys. He purposely went after Garver knowing that he was the worst hitter in the history of T-Mobile park. He purposely went after Urias knowing that he was one of the worst regular players in MLB in 2023 and was only so-so before that. He purposely went after Haniger clearly having seen that with his numerous injuries and declining production that he was on the verge of collapse.

He did have good intentions with Polanco (and there's no excuse as to why he's so horrible) and Raley, but he purposely acquired three position players that he knew were going to be awful. Considering that Polanco and guys like Winker, Wong and Frazier before him have inexplicably all lost it in a Mariner uniform, I don't think he's even going to try at this point.

Seby too.

Oh yeah, over Murph. Mind-boggling.

Not often you see a rebuild declared a failure with the team in first place

Well, it's not often that a team is in first place with a .519 record and negative run differential.

The rebuild has already reached it's apex. We got one play-off season out of it with a series win against another WC team. That will probably have to do for another decade or as long the Stanton ownership group is around.
