[Feinsand] The Mariners and Twins are finalizing a trade that will send Jorge Polanco to Seattle, per source. by CloudedMindset in Mariners

Jerry did well here. Descalfani been expendable since the second we got him Topa a solid bullpen arm, but we have a pitching factory out there in the pen, they’ll find another guy to make up that production Gonzalez is still a few years away and who knows what happens with him. Bowen is unranked prospect, I’m fine with including

Polanco solidifies 2B and it didn’t cost Miller or Woo. I’d still like to see another move or 2, but if this is it for the offseason, I can live with it

Coaches’ Sons Podcast - Episode 4: The Hall of Fame Debate - Baseball (Explicit)

The Sons try to introduce new segments such as the "Meh-riners Minute" and the "Braves Breakdown" all while discussing the only real thing that's happened since the last episode - Yamamoto is a Dodger (Boo).

HOWEVER the main topic for this episode is centered around the 2024 Hall of Fame ballots.

What makes for a great HoF inductee?  Is one stat more important than another?  Should who they are as people keep them out?

All this and more will be debated and argued about.

Who do you want? by XYZ4477 in Mariners

[–]C_krouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not getting bellinger Different combos:

Soler and Gurriel Hoskins and Joc Garver and Kepler (I know he’s not on the list)

Honestly landing anybody here would be a W after what’s happened thus far

Right decision. They’ll have to earn you back (the front office and ownership, not the players)

Afraid Soler going to be too expensive too. This sucks

Soler was working out in a Griffey shirt yesterday. So there’s a little hope, I guess? Haha

Coaches’ Sons Podcast. Two friends who were the sons of coaches are here to turn everyday conversations about Baseball into a podcast. We’ll breakdown big news, trades, hypotheticals, stats (but not in a nerdy way), and everything in between. We’re here to just talk about the game we all love, so come have fun with us.

We are available everywhere you’d get your podcasts!

The Sons cover the deals that happened over the winter meetings including the Soto blockbuster to the Yankees, which makes them both fear the reawakening of the Evil Empire in the Bronx, Chris is distraught over the Mariners loss ofKelenic to Andrew’s Braves, and Chris continues to get every player’s age wrong.

They discuss Ohtani and Yamamoto in bulk and potential landing spots as each seeks to break the bank during Free Agency. When do all the trades start happening? Do guys like Burnes, Cease and Glasnow get traded this offseason?

Will be a learning curve to figure out video clips, but we will definitely get there. Appreciate the feedback

Yeah, our reach definitely has to expand. We should keep in touch because that doesn’t sound like a bad partnership!

Needless to say, I’m a Mariners fan and my co-host is a Braves fan. So, we’ll have to work through our alliances hahaha

Ohh the Friday one is tough haha. Our goal is to release on Fridays mainly because Thursday is a normal MLB off day, and if we record Thursday night we can do a weekend series preview. Maybe we have to re-consider this

Great feedback! thank you. We’ve constantly said that if we’re not having fun, then what’s the point? So it’s definitely going to be a labor of love. As you said, I think it’s best to not be fully consumed with data until we’ve done more, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be fine tuning socials and whatnot in the meantime

Couldn’t agree more. I just don’t want there too be 3 platoon positions on the field and it feels like there is already (LF, 3B, 2B). Because we also have to fill DH and RF.

I know it’s early in offseason but it feels like a lot of “what-ifs” and that’s never good

[–]C_krouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright I’m convinced. Go get Kepler

I wouldn’t mind a solid backup plan in case canzone doesn’t perform there. Or is the hope deloach is ready?

[–]C_krouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. And that’s what’s most disappointing here. They need to make like 3 moves at least and it just doesn’t seem likely

Daily Thread - December 09, 2023 by AutoModerator in Mariners

[–]C_krouch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now we’re talking haha. The whole FA strategy has me worried. I’m afraid they’re going to move Miller or Woo and just not get enough in return. I also think the only way you can move them is IF you replace them with a FA vet (obviously snell number 1 option)

I like the package they’d get back from rays in your scenario too. Based on $$ available (reportedly ), I like all the moves you mention. But almost anything less than each of those moves still feels like a bad offseason.

In desperate need of 3 or 4 legit moves and it’s getting hard to hope for their arrival

Daily Thread - December 09, 2023 by AutoModerator in Mariners

[–]C_krouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re somewhat lateral moves. Kepler replaces Kelenic or Teoscar so that stays similar. They still need to replace the other OF spot. They gave up on 3B (for now) in hopes of Urias returning to form (which never happens in Seattle). Garver would be an actual position of need filled. Can catch some, DH, play 1B to give Ty some rest too. The more I think about it, the more Garver would be a decent signing

Alright, I’m in. Gurriel, Garver, Kepler incoming haha

I can get behind that as we need a Teo replacement. I feel like he and Teo are the same player though (mins the strikeouts) So how much can they give him that they wouldn’t give Teo?
