Nah they'll add someone but it won't be someone expensive. They have the prospect capital to get a high salary bat at the deadline but they won't take on salary. Nobody is looking to trade young, cheap stars for prospects.
Like you said, they could easily make the playoffs in spite of it all. It feels like standard swoon time right now though.
You should really find someone else to troll. The only thing that bugs me about it is the childish persistence. As I've explained, I don't get emotionally invested.
I don't really claim to know the roster and minor league stuff more than most here, but it seems like they need to clear paths for a few bats to come up from the minors. I know there are all sorts of weird semi-political things like service time, etc that can get in the way of younger guys getting their shot, though. I thought there was a young catcher (who will be stuck behind Raleigh forever) who could maybe at least DH later in the year, or trade him now for a bat. At least they brought Cole Young up.

Every May they do something to get people excited and some bonio starts a "Mariners Baby!" thread.
We’re all waiting for them to fade down the stretch. It’s chinevitable.
Who would start such a dumb thread?
I'm waiting for a 10 game lead in the west this year. They'd never blow a lead that big and make me look bad.
Feces, you worthless cunt!!!
M's getting their shit pushed in at home by Toronto. A tale as old as time.
The fucking stadium is always 3/4 blue jays fans whenever they’re in town. I fucking hate going to home games against Toronto.
They're back.
I’m tanned, rested, and ready for the impending collapse. A story as old as tim
The west is kind of a shitshow this year. With their rotation, they have a chance. They need to add another bat before the deadline, but they won’t.

Five reasons or none.
1. They suck
2. They're shitty
3. They're still shitty
4. Dan Wilson is shitty
5. Speed, speed, speed. Cal Raleigh is bringing speed to the catcher position we haven't seen in decades.
Awfully cold for September…
Hot for September here today.
But yeah, it's all going according to plan. They'll be in contention, and could hit the post season hot. You never know.
Man they suck right now though. Horrible.
lol
Raleigh would look good in pinstripes.
@chuck
They still can't hit, and the pitching staff that went without injury last year are all dropping like flies this year (as predicted by me).
