Muckenhirn is basically a younger Tommy Milone.

Supposedly he has 3 options left so part of the M's motivation was to clear up 2x roster spots to potentially make more trades.
How is he Milone. He is a reliever.
My bad, I thought I saw games started on fangraphs, but yep, he's a reliever...

A 91mph reliever....

Guess it was more of a salary dump than talent acquisition, makes sense.

Yep, if anyone ever is confused about the rationale for his trades all they need to do is Follow the Money.....He basically sold Gott for $4M.

Flexen was DFAd. If I he wasn’t traded mariners pay him for nothing. Gott is a FA at the end of the year, and I don’t think mariners make the playoffs. Mariners loses nothing, save money, and anything they get out of the new lefty is a bonus.

Now just do something worthwhile with the money.

He signed a 1 year deal. Does he get arbitration or something?

Now Stanton can afford to install gold-plated toilet paper roll dispensers in all 15 of his bathrooms. :idea:

Stylistically. Basically 90mph junk throwers from the left side who will be career AAAA pitchers used to eat innings.
