Mariners ownership bargain bin shopping and are undeniably worse off talent-wise than at the end of last season, while their biggest in-division competition is getting better... ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Make some moves already!!!
@inhoclupo@realbigjoe_24@MarinersSteve@MLBaseball_Live I donโt know if Mariners fans are undervaluing Donovan or if Cardinals fans are just massively overvaluing Donovan but top prospect/s for a platoon bat seems awfully steep.
Jose Ferrer ranked in the 99th percentile in ground-ball rate (64.3%), 95th percentile in walk rate (4.9%), 94th percentile in avg. fastball velocity (97.7 mph), and 93rd percentile in barrel rate (4.8%) across 72 appearances in 2025, per Baseball Savant.
What a pathetic offensive performance tonight against the Tigers in a bullpen game. Absolutely pathetic!!!
Also Dan Wilson is embarrassingly bad at managing baseball games!
Then letโs use Garver as the third catcher/ Bench bat, who provides that flexibility, not stunt Ford's development just because Dan is worried about hurting Garver's feelings.
Garver should be lower on the depth chart at this point. Garver pretty much cooked as a hitter now.
From Dan Wilson pre-game:
โdoesnโt seem real eager to start Harry Ford right now. Mentioned multiple times the flexibility a third catcher provides late in games.
โcalls Luis Castillo a big game pitcher and praised his final four innings vs. SD. Excited to see him.
โSpeier has worked back to back days. Said theyโll see how he feels after playing catch about possibly going tonight.
