Can't tell if you're joking.

There's not enough random *'s in the post to convince me.

"After getting benched in the playoffs maybe it’s time for a change of scenery. Seems like a safe bet to be at least a 3-win 3B with some upside still left to tap into. Not sure what exactly he would cost but maybe its as simple as sending them Rojas to be a utility guy for them plus a high leverage reliever in Santos (Or Munoz/Brash) and/or a Logan Evans/Braydn Garcia/Emerson Hancock as young Starting Pitching depth."

Good ole lazy writing. Imagine if the Mariners traded Andres Munoz or Matt Brash for Alec Bohm. T-Mobile might burn. Then equating them to one of the young pitchers who outside of Evans, are not considered "high-end" prospects.

One thing is for sure... these trade targets either come with some warts or that wart is offloading significant prospects for non slam dunks. Where is our Mookie Betts or Juan Soto trade? :cry:

Perhaps it's buying low on Luis Robert or Bo Bichette. Who knows.

The Mariner Mojo podcast discusses 28-year-old Japanese slugger Kazuma Okamoto as a potential solution at third base:

I was talking about him on X with a guy. Probably a good fit if we lift the current ban on Japanese players.

It's just some rando on LL. Not worth talking about.

I just saw that Mitch had until two P.M. to accept his player option and I do not see any reports that he did. Does anyone know if this is really true?

I can’t imagine Mitch walks away from that kind of payday……..

It’s his last one obviously

Just bizarre that it hasn't been announced either way.
