It sounds like they are looking to add someone with better contact numbers than Geno. I know Seattle has had Steven Kwan talks, but the return value might be too rich for the Mariners. Donovan or Horner make the most sense.bpj wrote: ↑Sun Feb 01, 2026 9:00 amI don't know why Geno would be a problem for the roster, unless it was a multi year deal... which might be where they're apart.
Just throwing some cash at him on a one year deal to hope he comes in and does better than Ben Williamson seems like a decent bet though.
Better than Ben Williamson seems like a pretty low bar..
It's not like they're going to spend the money they'd be paying Geno on anybody else. We can probably all agree on that.
I'd take him, just because of the low bar.
And either way, it's Dipoto's fault for letting it come to this.
My fear with Geno is that he reverts back to this .200-.220ish strikeout guy that is streaky as all get out. He's not the worst idea, but you've got a bunch of young kids that need to get AB's in the majors, with Donovan and Horner, they play multiple positions, so easier to get these kids work in. If you can develop them, its cheaper than going out into free agency.
Buster Olney just comped Colt Emerson to Brice Turang. I'd take that all day long. Took him a year or two to figure things out though. They have all the ammo they need to make a trade before Spring Training and at the deadline to get another bat. But they really need 2 more bats to be honest.
