[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

@Jrw1692 He’s definitely the guy who leaked the Scott Servais firing in an attempt to make Jerry and Justin look bad. Nobody is convincing me otherwise

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

Not Dan’s. He’s an ownership hire. Jerry and Justin is a bit gray. They should be on the hot seat, but idk if Stanton actually cares enough to do that

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

Within 3-4 games of a playoff spot, probably the division. The closer to first, or if they’re actually in first, the more he’ll ok. The more likely the playoffs are, the more “risk” he’ll take

[Mark Darden @MarkDarden15]

@controlthezone Where do you think the Ms have to be to buy at the deadline? Not where you or I would buy but where Stanton will let them🙄

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

Right now, nobody. If they play like this for the next 6 weeks, all of them lol. But I’m using what I’d consider to be fair value for each guy and that probably varies greatly from reality

[True to the Gloom @Jrw1692]

@controlthezone Who in the top 10 would you personally be most upset about moving assuming you’re getting the right value back. I.e. even for fair value you would not be happy about

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

If they actually sold, and I don’t mean a bench piece or a middle reliever, first guy I’m shopping is Munoz. Going to net you quite a haul. Randy would also be tough to hold on to.

[mariners48 @Mariners48]

@controlthezone Who is the most likely Mariner to be traded if they fall out of the race by the trade deadline as a seller move. Not that I want it to happen but things aren’t trending well.

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

Certainly possible. Might depend on how secure Jerry feels. In general, I think you should always be trying to add such a player

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

@SteveP1231 No Stanton is trying to do just enough to keep people coming while spending as little as possible. The pirates owner is just pocketing TV and rev share money. He’s not even trying to pretend to care. Neither team is going anywhere

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

@SteveP1231 I truly don’t know. I think it’s a tough sell to the fan base to bring Jerry back, but ownership clearly doesn’t give a shit about the fan base so who knows?

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

A. There’s a ZERO percent chance Jerry Dipoto “supports” ownership’s idiotic payroll restrictions. Zero. B. There’s a tipping point where Jerry becomes so toxic to the fan base, that it becomes a problem. There isn’t a shortage of people who would gladly take JD’s despite it.

[Steve Pellicone 👾 @SteveP1231]

@controlthezone do you think Jerry's job is actually on the line? I feel like he has done EXACTLY what management has asked, by supporting their "Let's add nobody" plan

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

I think the Twins probably feel like they have their own Hancock or Evans to roll with for a few months. Don’t see the team trading any of their 5 guys this summer

[AL MID @hamswaggerty69]

@controlthezone Would the twins be a sneaky trade partner with lopez going down?

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

There are going to be some names waived this month, so that’s a possibility, but the trade market just isn’t open quite yet. Maybe at the end of the month? But still feels like post ASB is when it’s reasonable

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

Yeah I think we all hope it’s Murphy. A great second choice is Christian Haynes though

[Zach Fisher @Zf2917]

@controlthezone Byron Murphy is probably the obvious answer, but which Seahawks 2nd-year player will take the biggest step up in 2025?

[True to the Trident @controlthezone]

They think they know better than the entire baseball watching world. They don’t.
