Jerry says he has meetings set-up

It's posturing, they're going to cut payroll. They can also take on Andrus as a salary dump.

"Shooting for the moon" isn't adding on Andrus to Olson's deal so we can get a better exchange rate. Elvis has very little value and will probably remain an A throughout the rest of his contract. Matt Olson won't be coming to Seattle. It sucks, but we can finally put this debate to bed.

Why, because you say so? Pffft. Come on.

Makes perfect sense to take Andrus wasted dollars to ease the prospect package required for Olsen. Even if he's immediately dfa'd.

Exactly. Andrus doesn’t have to stay

Only problem is they would move him and his weak ass bat to 3B for 160 games to get their money's worth.

Elvis only owed $7M as long as he doesn't reach 550 PAs in 2022 so I would take him on as a one year UT IF it got us Olson.

[Vogelbomb]

I mean we could give up Ty France or move him to 3rd if it got us Matt Olson

Not because I said so, but because Jerry said so(Ty France is our 1B in 2022). I don't like it either.

Let's wager. Put you're money where you're mouth is? We can even tilt the odds. 5:1? 10:1?

Last time I checked Andrus easily outperforms Dilly in just about every category but maybe stolen bases.....but Dilly the strikeout artist rarely gets on base

If everything Jerry says comes true we are truly Brandoned

So 10 pitchers of beer vs 1. Your on and the bet is Ty France First base or not.......

Obviously it's unlikely with 10 other contending teams, but nobody needs some dope acting like it's a 0% chance.

Dipoto has traded for the A's last 3 first basemen, I'm not going to say it's impossible with this one.

In the end it would save the Mariners $100M by getting Olsen and moving France to 3B instead of getting Semien and moving Toro to 3B.

I'm sure that thought won't cross their mind...

I would take Andrus if it got me Olson. The one time salary hit isn't a big deal and the player still has some use, and if he doesn't then you just DFA him.
