Gleyber and Edgar Barclay for Castillo and Winker. Get er done. Can't go wrong with an Edgar.

JD could be saving money due to paying for Teoscar. Maybe he should've tried to trade Diego instead of Swanson.
I saw some stupid post over on MLBTR. I don't know if it was just this year, or past years, but they really made it a point to use this for emphasis.D-train wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 5:30 pmLOL judge missed five games. Who the hell is looking at his stats in five games out of 162Sexymarinersfan wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 4:41 pmYeah, a couple of people have posted this. I just read this article. I'm good with it. I've heard Gleyber's numbers are atrocious however when Judge isn't in the lineup. Don't know how much stock I put into this. Curious as to what those numbers would look like.
He has the same career OPS+ as JP does.Sexymarinersfan wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 11:08 pmLast season, Altuve (6.6) and Peña (3.4) combined for 10.0 WAR while Frazier (1.1) and Crawford (2.0) combined for just 3.1 WAR according to Fangraphs. With Frazier leaving as a free agent, the Mariners should prioritize adding a player similar to the level of Jose Altuve to make their middle infield less of a disadvantage for the Mariners.
In 2022, Swanson had his best offensive year yet. He was worth 6.4 WAR while slashing .277/.329/.447 with 25 home runs, 18 stolen bases, 96 RBI, and 99 runs scored leading to a 116 wRC+. Those numbers really emphasize how well-rounded Swanson is as a player. He doesn’t hit for the highest average, get on base the most, or hit the most homers. However, he does every single thing well.
MLB Trade Rumors predicts a 9YR/$288M contract for Correa, 8YR/$268M for Turner, 7YR/189M for Bogaerts, and 7YR/$154M for Swanson. That is just $22 million a year, and at the end of the deal, Swanson would only be 35 because he will play at age 29 in 2023. I firmly believe that giving Swanson $20-25 million per year for 6-8 years to get the deal locked in is worth it.

Maybe Swanson is worth a look.![]()
