@nicholashaddad@talk_mariners I think Castillo is a net negative in a trade right now but i could be wrong.
I just wouldn't do Sloan or Anderson. And I would if i knew i was resigning Skubal, if that's what it ended up taking. But the Mariners won't resign him, 100%. He's going to get 400m
@talk_mariners@nicholashaddad I think for a few months of that rental, yeah. And it's not that i think that, Dipoto also thinks that.
Honestly if it were me, I probably would trade one for Skubal but then I'd just resign Skubal, but the Mariners aren't going to do that. So i'm being realistic.
@nicholashaddad@talk_mariners TIL 27 years old is not young for an MLB pitcher.
I'd do something like
Miller
Montes(29)
Arroyo(47)
take your pick of a pitcher not named Anderson/Sloan
Or if you like Kirby more than miller, swap them.
@nicholashaddad@talk_mariners I never said throw ins. You could get some top 100 specs, Mariners have a few. But they aren't trading Sloan/Anderson in any deal for Skubal.
Dodgers are different aren't they? They would be favorites to resign Skubal, so they could offer more, that's baseball.....
@nicholashaddad@talk_mariners There is no delusion, 3 years of Bryce Miller and some specs would get it done, Tigers have no leverage at all.
You are not getting a top 10 prospect for Skubal, from anyone.
Write that down.
@nicholashaddad@talk_mariners This trade won't happen, Skubal is not resigning with the Mariners and wouldn't start enough games this season for it to be worth that many specs.
The best deal for a Skubal rental is giving up someone like Bryce Miller and some specs, none of the top ones.
@talk_mariners The Mariners rotation is one of the best in the league, during the regular season.
When it comes to playoffs they fall back into the pack. They don't have one SP that can go through the lineup more than 2 times before being pulled, thats a problem.
Skubal fixes that problem.
@RefuseToLosePod@933KJR Game by game coaching decisions is the biggest concern going forward. The only person that could keep the Mariners from winning the divison and getting deep into October is actually my favorite former player.
Dan Wilson
@Mediocre_Mike_0@goodson_erik@TomMcGuire_12@ClayTravis Did you miss the part of the comment where the original OP literally says, when biden gave him the keys?
Did you miss that? Do you even know what are you are arguing? Here-
