Reynolds is not a bad player just because he is on a bad team either, he had a 6 WAR season in 2021.
The Mariners have now been connected to two high-quality players, one who they could sign (Kris Bryant) and one who they could trade for (Bryan Reynolds). This shows that the Mariners are willing to build their team this offseason and they should be expected to be coming up in the rumor mill more and more.
Yeah saw that but I like the results. Also a good contrast vs. our hard throwers like Munoz Ramirez et al..
Yeah, I'm not sure what you'd call Felix Hernandez if not a good player on shitty teams.D-train wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 5:11 pmA couple more gems from my little buddy Curtis at Sodo:

This notion that there can be good players on bad teams is quite an epiphany for me. lol
And four years of Reynolds would require that unless Cherington want to get torn to shreds by the Pirate fan base.SeattleSportsRUs wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 6:01 pmYeah, I'm not sure what you'd call Felix Hernandez if not a good player on shitty teams.D-train wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 5:11 pmA couple more gems from my little buddy Curtis at Sodo:

Reynolds would be great. That said, no trade can involve Julio. Hard stop.
I’m losing ways to describe just how unfathomably cheap the Cincinnati Reds are, have been, and continue to be.
Just days after forfeiting the chance to shop Tucker Barnhart for anything of note, they’ve lost Wade Miley for absolutely nothing, too. The team announced on Friday afternoon that Miley had been claimed by the Chicago Cubs, but I’ll go ahead and link to the Cubs tweet because I’m about to do my best to forget the Reds exist on all platforms.
In effect, the Reds had chosen not to pick up Miley’s $10 million option for next year despite the fact that he pitched well enough in 2021 to likely pick up some down-ballot Cy Young Award votes. That meant they’d be on the hook for his $1 million buyout, so instead of doing that they exposed him to waivers in hopes someone who was willing to pay him the $10 million to pitch next year would claim him, and they’d be on the hook for nothing.
The Cubs claimed him. They’ll pay a good baseball player to play baseball, just like the Tigers were willing to pay Tucker Barnhart.
This franchise is embarrassing, and there are few other words to use to describe it.
