My Moog (Mariner Doog) scenario is that, besides great pitching, they use chaos ball to squeak wins out until they are ready to add a significant bat at the trade deadline. We'll see some regression with Robles but Julio, Arozarena, Polanco, and Garver should have at least modest improvements in their numbers. I'm not sure what JP Crawford we'll get.
I'm not counting much on Haniger since he is injury prone and a year older. At best, we'll probably see something around .230 / .300 / .420 and 15 HRs.
I wish ownership wasn't self-constraining in terms of payroll. IMHO, the damage it has caused to their / the club's reputation is easily exceeds the $15 million they could have spent to add a pretty good bat.
everyone knows that all you need in the playoffs is 3 good starters and some chicken wire so i expect to see the mariners trade 2 starters for players at the deadline ~ the first guy will be Pete Alonzo, the first baseman for the Mets (Richie Sexson redux) who will be available after yet another poor first half and we will swing another deal probably with Texas to acquire the young OF Evan Carter with promise that sat out the last 2/3rd of last season.
Welp…. I just went to my dashboard and the entire thing is wonky. I do not have the ability to change anything. I don't know what the hell is going on. I will send in a work order.
Thought it might be worthwhile to post some TS and PS for Mitch Haniger's career. He was a good dude. I'm glad they did the right thing and ended it though.
This means the Ms will extend, at most, two of their starting pitchers and that only if they can sucker Miller or Woo into a cheap one. Kirby is all but gone the way things feel.
I could see Gilbert (big $$) and Woo (cheap) or Miller and Woo. Most likely though is that one of Miller or Woo gets $50-$75 and Gilbert hits FA in a couple of years.
It'll suck to see, but it's better to trade them at peak value, sacrificing a year or even two, than let them walk for nothing. Their trade value is too high to ignore.

NOGAF what you think.
My apologies, I saw an M’s thread, got triggered, etc
PM to @DerekJohnson Shouldn't the image for this board be change? Looks like two golf boards.
I know that this is clearly the most pressing thing for you right now.

Wait where is the "Justin Turner is a cuog" allegation coming from? Dude is from Long Beach and went to Cal State Fullerton?
I think the idiot youtuber is a cuog
The couch gm is a Cuog, or at least a Cuog fan which makes him a Cuog.
Plus there's the previously mentioned mustache.
As for Turner...if I didn't already like the guy I would after he made those comments. He could even be a Cuog and it wouldn't matter.
It's kinda funny. My phone has started auto correcting Cuog to capitalized.
My bad, ty

Good point. I didn't notice that, thank you.

Cal Raleigh extended. 6 years, $106-$123 million.

Think Gilbert or Kirby is on trade block this summer? The M's should try to get some pieces instead of letting them walk in FA
I think Kirby might be. I doubt Gilbert is.

If this is the only way we can get more hitters, then it must be done.
