M's get Curt C
Re: M's get Curt C
The move would be to trade Torrens to a non-contender that can give him some ABs but now I guess they'll have to DFA him once Casali is ready to go, which sort of sucks but I guess isn't really that big of a deal.

Beautiful. He can sit right next to all the best Seattle Mariners players.....IN THE INFIRMARY!

Re: M's get Curt C
They'll probably DFA Larsen and when he passes thru waivers, outright him.

Re: M's get Curt C
Lol how awkward for Torrens. Dead man walking
Re: M's get Curt C
He doesn’t have any options and no place on team, cash considerations before night is out
Re: M's get Curt C
Just traded for Boyd who.............wait for it.............hasn't pitched an inning because he is injured.seattlefan-daBronx wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 9:03 pmBeautiful. He can sit right next to all the best Seattle Mariners players.....IN THE INFIRMARY!

Re: M's get Curt C
I actually like this move.
Would I have rather had Vasquez from Boston? Well hell yeah.
I just want to know how this conversation went down between JD and SF mgmt???
Jerry "Hey you don't also have any stop gap backup catchers do you?"
Scott Harris "Let me think about that" "Stay on hold"....(10 seconds later) "Curt Casali".
Jerry "Curt Casali? You're kidding me!"
Scott Harris "Yeah but he's a little banged up. Just going into a rehab assignment now."
Jerry "Perfect! I want him playing for us in a month! Draw up the papers!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4rR-OsTNCgMariners To Acquire Matthew Boyd
By Steve Adams | August 2, 2022 at 3:56pm CDT
The Mariners are set to acquire left-hander Matthew Boyd in a trade with the Giants, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (Twitter link). He’s currently on the injured list and has spent the entire season to date rehabbing from September surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon, but Boyd makes for an interesting roll of the dice and could give the M’s a quality arm late in the season if he’s able to return from that surgery.
Boyd, 31, inked a one-year, $5.2MM deal with the Giants after a mostly solid four-year run with the Tigers. A brutal showing in 2020 skewed his numbers in his final few seasons with Detroit, but Boyd often flashed quality bat-missing ability and typically posted low walk rates throughout his time in the Detroit rotation. He twice looked as though he may be among the more appealing arms available at a trade deadline — first in 2019 when he was sitting on a 3.95 ERA and 152 strikeouts in 114 innings and again in 2021 when he’d posted a similar ERA and reduced home-run rate (albeit with a diminished strikeout rate).

Re: M's get Curt C
We still need a big bat (which we're not going to get), but this is a solid pickup that we have to like. Him in the lineup is a lot better than Torrens in the lineup. At least we now have a backup catcher who can hit one over the co-ed line.
