France placed on waivers finally

[DavidGee24]

This doesn't make any sense to me. France certainly isn't having a great season by any stretch of the imagination but he is far from the worst on the team. He is 4th in batting average, 3rd in OBP and 6th in OPS. Locklear didn't do any better when he was up here so why do you want to cut bait and go all in on an unproven rookie who really has never even been a very highly rated prospect?

Maybe they're making a deal for a first baseman?

Hopefully Guerrero. Also, France makes a lot mess money than the other guys who are sucking.

I wonder if the M's have a deal in the works.

It’s still a question of who will be available.

My guess is the Jays are sellers, so Vlad would be my top choice.

D-Backs are said to be buyers, so Christian Walker isn’t available.

That leaves Josh Bell, Andrew Vaughn and Yandy Diaz. Nothing there browns my toast.

Eye Alonso, Wade Jr., Rooker has played there,

As much as we bash Ty freakin France....he is out of a job tonight.
He was a Mariner and will wish him the best.
This is a "what have you done for me lately" driven league and Ty was sucking it badly.
Too bad driveline didn't have the magic solution.

Bottomline we are better by subtraction. I say good riddance to Polanco and Mitch Haniger. Why stop there?!?!
Hoping this is a prelimanary move in lieu of a new but experienced MLB bat via trade that can really help the club.
If not, oh well then, play the kids.

He’d be a great pickup by a team that’s out of it. Get him out of the shit show mariners offense, and see what he can do. I think they will try to trade Polonco and Haniger to try to save the money they are owed…

Yep, I think somebody will snag him and get a producer out of it.

I had to get a “France Jersey” the last time I came up. I will be going to games on Monday and Tuesday. I will get a Julio, Griffey, may a Cal or Raley. Kirby?

I imagine Ty was pretty popular with his teammates. I wonder if we'll get another dose of drama from the players like when Graveman was traded.

Or maybe this time they were expecting big changes were possibly coming,so it won't be such a surprise.

[Pharmabro]

I am hoping for the best, but I am not a big believer in TLock. I put him in about every deal for a bat.

From Divish article:

France was sucking ass this month to a tune of .495 OPS.

It's not just his bat.

He's useless as a player overall. Can't run. Can't field. Mid hitter.

Only reason he was the first to go was he making less money that the other two...

They will need to include top prospects just like with the JK trade...Nobody would waste their time and on those two if not.
