Potential trade targets from potential sellers and their numbers since 6/1

This jack wagon suggests that the best path forward is just to pick Whit and Kiermaier of the trash heap.

The official Twitter of the Snoqualmie Valley Sports Journal no less.



Sometimes I wish Twitter never existed. It really gives a voice to people that don't know how to put a lot of thought into things.

How cheap do you think he is? Most of what I'm hearing is that it's going to cost you Young or Ford + more. And for what exactly?

He's got a career .248/.309/.444/.753 slash w. a 103 OPS+.

He's like a 3fWAR/162 player.

Why exactly would anyone give up top prospects for that?

By cheap I mean he is earning $2.6MM this year, and he has 2 more years on his contract after this one. So he’s not a rental.

His career slash line has been impacted by interrupted stints on the IL. Right now, he is batting .255 with 12 HRs. Polanco is barely over Mendoza with only 5 homers and -0.3 WAR. Chisholm has swiped 18 bags this season. Polanco has 2.

So yeah, I’d replace Jorge with Chisholm any day of the week, and twice on Sundays. He versatile. He has wheels. He’s an above average 2B, and he’s an offensive upgrade to what we have. There’s not a lot else out there if you want to trade your way to a better keystone.

He’s high risk, but with potentially really high reward.

FWIW since the deadline trade last July 31, Paul Sewald has posted a negative 0.1 fWAR, Josh Rojas 2.9 fWAR, Ryan Bliss 0.3 fWAR and Dominic Canzone a negative 0.1 fWAR:

Sno Valley Sports? Does that Jack Wagon think he is some sort of Ty Dane Gonzalez self-promoted “In” guy?

No way the Mariners would ever trade for Winker again.

“Everything that Mitch Haniger does to prepare for a game and to get ready, Jesse Winker’s kind of the opposite,” he said. “… I think he’s not very physically strong, I don’t think he puts in the time to be better defensively or to have a better arm or any of the work that should be done, and really it is counter to what has made this team great. The last few years, this team prepares more than any team I’ve ever seen on a daily basis.”

Meanwhile Mitch Haniger can't play baseball...

I don't think the M's can afford to discriminate when it comes to adding offense. I also think Divish is full of shit when it comes to player attitudes towards Winker. Everyone seemed to like him. He cared about winning. Divish picks and chooses who he likes.

And if they didn't like him, I could really give a fuck less if a team full of players with sub .700 OPS's has an opinion on a guy who can actually hit. If the M's are so high on "preparing..." then they're doing it wrong.

Maybe Winker wasn’t :Safe-KO-D but instead was a gimp? Maybe he did not workout before games because he was saving himself for the game. But I think he was even worse the next year with Milwaukee. I don’t want a repeat of players who have failed here before.

FWAR You some how look at a stat that essentially claims that a pitcher who is 23% above average in year 1 and 15% above average in year 2 and claim that any league average pitcher outperforms him over that same span? If so, can we meet up and I exchange 1.00 dollars and you give me 1.20$ dollars and you thank me for doing you the favor?

Per this guy....Doesn't sound like Toronto wants to trade any big bats of significance even if they're sellers.

Why is hitting down in general this year? Any guesses?
