@LO_Mariners Given the extreme shortage in 3B talent across the majors, could the M’s just stick Emerson at 3B moving forward and target an everyday SS this off-season?
It would decrease his “value” in the open market, but that seems meaningless now that he got his extension.
@LO_Mariners Is Michael Arroyo’s 2B defense good enough for the M’s to consider trading Cole Young this offseason to address other needs and get less left-handed?
@LO_Mariners What is the minimum acceptable number of relievers the M’s need to add to their bullpen this off-season assuming that at least 1 of the newcomers is a high leverage reliever?
@LO_Mariners Garret Cleavinger and Brendan Donovan to the M’s, Santiago Suarez, Djurrangelo Cjintje, and Tai Peete to the Cardinals, and Harry Ford to the Rays.
@LO_Mariners Ketel Marte to the M’s
Luis Castillo and Cole Young to the Giants
Jonny Farmelo, Jurrangelo Cjintje, Blade Tidwell, and Casey Schmidt to the Diamondbacks.
@LO_Mariners What do you guys think of Raley’s and Canzone’s respective trade values? Could one of them net you a rental high leverage arm? They feel redundant on this roster.
@LO_Mariners Would you guys like to see the M’s leverage their ballpark to attract pitchers in need of pillow contracts more? Some names that come to mind this year - Woodruff, Gallen, Imanaga, Mahle, Merrill Kelly, Giolito, Nestor Cortes, Buehler, etc.
@LO_Mariners If you want Cal to sustainably be able to get 650+ PA’s per year going forward, would it be best to hold onto Harry and let them time share catcher like the Blue Jays did in 2023 with Kirk / Jansen?
