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.
It cost the Friars a reliever, and their #6,9 and 13 prospects.D-train wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 2:02 pmWow, damn Straight! Hitting .419!!!! 14-23 his last 5 games...

I'd say this year it wasn't really in the cards to trade for him given the abundance of 2B's...Big_Maple wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 1:50 pmAnd when they passed on the chance to sign Corey Seager and Marcus Semien.Seattle or Bust wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 10:33 pmCan call it like it is...

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.
Oh yeah, over Murph. Mind-boggling.D-train wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 10:27 pmSeby too.DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 9:15 pmDon'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.
Not often you see a rebuild declared a failure with the team in first placeSibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 12:40 pmThe rebuild has failed. Julio is a bust. The starting pitching is good but not great. Time to get out the pitchforks and torches.
Well, it's not often that a team is in first place with a .519 record and negative run differential.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 10:31 amNot often you see a rebuild declared a failure with the team in first placeSibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 12:40 pmThe rebuild has failed.
