Marco is still useful in my opinion and JK has some value as well, so that part of it makes sense. But why would they agree to take the rest of Evan White's salary? Curious how much cash the Mariners will send as part of the deal.

I agree that something big seems to be on the way. Hopefully not Isaac Paredes. Maybe Juan Soto?

Mariners 2023 40 man payroll ended up at $180.7M.

Now with 2024 commitments for the 40 man of $136M.

The worst part is they just sold the last three wasted years to fans as giving Kelenic at bats to supposedly get him ready to become the player he really is.

They missed the playoffs by one game in two of those years and missed moving on by one run the year they made it.

If they hadn't wasted the at bats on Kelenic and gotten an MLB quality outfielder we would have been much better off all along.

Oh man, what a great night in the Twitter comments section.

Classic. The Kelenitwits are losing their minds. They can't imagine how the Mariners would give Kelenic up to save themselves $30M.

And they are getting rid of everyone posters wanted to get rid of
The only unjustifiable move so far has been letting Ford walk before finding a better replacement imo.

Clear the decks of the rubbish. Jerry finally makes a good move with addition by subtraction.
