[D-train]

No mention of Passan's fav team who he thinks had a great off season?

Right now, you have to think the Mariners will be sellers at the deadline. Lots of good bullpen pieces, maybe Suarez, maybe Teoscar, maybe even France though I sort of doubt that one since he's cheap and under team control.

Geno is cooked and Teo leads the league in Ks. Maybe a teams 57th best prospect for Geno if we pay 97% of his salary. A couple months of Teo for a team in a hitters park might net us a top 30 prospect but I would just keep him an offer him a QO which he will refuse and we get a draft pick which would be a top 10-15 prospect in our system.

I guarantee they won't extend the qualifying offer.

Sell!

I agree sell, Bring up Jake Scheiner see if he can play or if we need a third baseman as well

Sell what?

True, they don't have much that's not nailed down.

They could probably find a taker for Teoscar based on his history.

They could find a match for Marco if they cover some salary- which they should.

We'd probably be better off without the final couple years of Eugenio's contract, so if they can find a match for him it may be the biggest return.

They should. He will reject it.

Geno turns 32 yo next month and since early April is hitting .177/.593 AND is owed $25M. The very definition of untradeable unless it is a Silva for Milton Bradley shit contract for shit contract type deal.

Can you imagine if we had gone after Arráez last offseason? Based on the deal the Marlins swung, we could easily have matched it and still have a rock solid starting rotation, and depth to spare.

Imagine where we’d be with a 2B who is nearly hitting .400???

You had the trade idea of the off season BM. No doubt about it. Kudos! Wish you were our GM instead of the current Dumb Fs in charge.

Haha! Well, it wasn’t rocket science. The dude won the AL batting championship, and he could play 2B - both of these were needs during the off-season. He would not have been cheap - likely would have taken a Kirby or a Gilbert to get it done. But a 26 year old 2B who can get on base dependably - why would we not have made a run? Instead we replaced Frazier with Kolten. *Sigh*
