John Stanton: "We've increased payroll each of the last five years." Correct.

BUT here is the context he doesn't mention:

Over the last six years, the #Mariners have also had a payroll averaging $29 million LESS than the AVERAGE MLB payroll (they spent $15.5 million less than the AVG MLB payroll this season).

This year's payroll of $167.9 million is only $7.1 million more than the team's payroll in 2017 (a 4.4% increase over nine years). With normal inflation, 2017's payroll would translate to a $220 million payroll today, $52 million more than what the M's actually spent this season:

2021: $83.8 mil (25th, $47.6 mil less than the avg MLB payroll)

2022: $113.9 (22nd, $36.6 mil less than avg MLB payroll)

2023: $128.0 (19th, $38.4 mil less than avg MLB payroll)

2024: $149.3 (16th, $22.6 mil less than avg MLB payroll)

2025: $165.6 (15th, $13.1 mil less than avg MLB payroll)

2026: $167.9 (16th, $15.5 mil less than avg MLB payroll)

@isayitasiseeish @kambrice1tv I would love to see my Mariners make a trade for Mayo.

[Colby Patnode @CPat11]

The Mariners should sign him regardless if they feel they can still get Brendan Donovan. Donovan at 3rd, Moncada at DH gives you tremendous flexibility with plenty of run way for Young and Emerson

@FoulTerritoryTV @JimBowdenGM The Dodgers TV deal of $334 million per year with a no rev share structure destroys parity for the vast majority of the league.

[Chris Porter @CPORT925]

@MarinerMuse @TortsIllustrtd Do you think there is a bridge opportunity in signing a cheap switch hitting Yoan Moncada?

[Chris Porter @CPORT925]

@MarineLayerPod Moncada as a bridge?

[Chris Porter @CPORT925]

@MarineLayerPod I’d love to see a cheap deal for Yoan Moncada at this point to bridge the young talent. Very similar projections as a Coby Mayo. Thoughts?

[Chris Porter @CPORT925]

@PeteThamel @Softykjr Real question: If this is allowed, could a program potentially steal a rival’s QB at the last minute and have them unenroll in order to destroy their opponent’s season and use this strategy as a weapon? Seems like you are opening some pretty big loopholes if you are the NCAA.

[Chris Porter @CPORT925]

@Barstoolhuskies @PeteThamel No kidding!
