Happy Trade Deadline Day thread!

[Seattle or Bust]

I mean... bottom line is he's a 140 OPS+ hitter vs LHP's.

Refsnyder? 43 OPS+.

You've just replaced your biggest liability on the roster vs left handed pitching with a guy who handles them very well.

Ward is also on pace for 3 WAR... pretty good for a team whose right field has put up -1.5 WAR on the year.

Refsnyder had a 159 wRC+ vs LHP last season. Then he got plopped in a Mariners platoon.

I think it has less to do with being plopped and more to do with him being 50 years old and completely losing his abilities in the offseason.

Likely won't bank on Ward completely falling off the planet 110 games into the season.

So far the support for Dipoto's trade deals are decidedly mixed. Castillo for a potential leverage reliever with control issues and in another trade we get a guy who walks a lot or hits singles against lefties, Taylor Ward for minor league fillers. Too Little...Too Late.. this is underwhelming and I am so tired of shopping for bargains at Goodwill.

Don' t get me wrong, I'm glad we found a home for Castillo and saved the franchise 10-20 million. I was just hoping when the dust settled we might have added a little reliable quality like Luke Weaver and George Springer or Seiya Suzuki. and. maybe even an Otto Lopez

This is a nothing trade season for the M’s. At best, we shed some salary and didn’t give up the farm.

Paint me cynical here, but the Mariners needed a massive offensive upgrade. Taylor Ward is definitely a step up from Refsnyder, but if these are the only moves, the Mariners will make before the deadline, it’s not enough.

This team is anemic offensively, and they needed to make a moonshot to put this team in playoff contention.

Oh well. There’s still a few hours left. Maybe Dipoto is orchestrating the blockbuster of all blockbusters. I guess I can always hope.

Padres asked for Kade for Miller. Hahaha seriously Jerry is dumb but seriously he is not that dumb.

Sadly only move i think they make the rest of the way is like a mid reliever a ferguson type like last year. Wanted Weaver but guessing his price tag was way too high like Millers

If that's true it makes sense, the Padres gave up a top-5 prospect for him. They're not going to give him up for Lazaro Montes.

Yeah was surprised to see his D metrics are quite good. Canzone back to DH. Another win.

Refsnyder had a 159 wRC+ vs LHP last season. Then he got plopped in a Mariners platoon.

He only had 71 PAs vs RHPs last season. Equivalent of about 18 games...

I warned you that you wouldn't be happy. Could still get Weaver. If we don't get a BP arm this deadline is a fail. Looks like the other three aren't getting traded. The notion the Marlins were going to trade their best player under control through 2029 was always ridiculous.

Adley to the Red Sox is pretty interesting. I remember thinking when we played them that they didn't look like a team that was mailing it in.
