Definitely an upgrade over what we ran out there last year

Not to mention he has the 2nd highest rated ISO in MLB (next to Altuve) & the 6th highest WRC+. No brainer to me.

Former Seattle righthander Hisashi Iwakuma posts that he will return to the Mariners as a special coach:

Pirates GM on Bryan Reynolds, begins at 4:15-

Hard to tell if he's saying they want to improve around Reynolds or that trading Reynolds might be a way to get some extra MLB-ready talent, but this excerpt from Dipoto is also interesting-

Evidently Senga has visited Seattle or at least with Seattle. The Darvish friendship may be to much to overcome

Yeah, 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.

LOL judge missed five games. Who the hell is looking at his stats in five games out of 162

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.

Judge missed a lot of games in the past so maybe it was that but Torres had a good season with Judge only missing 5. Anything prior is noise especially since there has never been any causation linked to lineup protection.

.319 SLG% FFS. Edgar's career OBP was basically 100 points higher at .418.

If we could trade for Reynolds I'd be ecstatic. Realistically, I could see us getting Conforto, Gleyber, and keeping Marco as the 5th. I think those 2 are our final additions.

How insane would this forum be if we signed Turner, traded for Reynolds and signed Senga. Hot damn...,...
