Mariners Trade (proposed)

Mariners certainly in the market for 3B now. If they don’t already have something lined up for Donaldson or Candelario, they very well could be a suitor for Westburg or Ortiz.

Considering how weak the FA market is for infielders, I’d be surprised if they moved Suarez without already having the replacement plan in place.

While Suarez has never replicated quite what he did in Cincy, he's been a big part of the M's the last two years. 150 games and 162 games played, respectively. It's a safe bet they've already got a replacement in mind, be it in FA or via trade.

Donaldson looks about done.  If anyone gives him more than a low one year deal, they will regret it.

Why?  And why Woo over Miller? 

From mlbtraderumors chat.  The price on Gilbert wouldn't be much less.  Was talking about a 1:1 swap of Holliday for Kirby.

Kirby for Westburg and Holiday? Throw in Kjerstad too maybe?

As good as George Kirby is, I'm not sure you could get the O's to bite on Jackson Holliday AND Jordan Westburg (let alone adding Kjerstad in there). But man would that be a fun/insane offseason blockbuster, ha.

0 Chance Kirby is worth all 3 of those players, let alone Holliday by himself.

Wasn't suggesting it was plausible -- just saying it's a fun hypothetical. Holliday is the No. 1 prospect in the game. Kirby is a young No. 2/borderline ace with five years of club control

I don't think I'd do it because I always like our guys more, but it's probably close, and I like Kirby a bunch.  I'd rather a package of guys for Kirby/Gilbert, or move down to lesser pieces for Miller/Woo.

Justin Turner on a one year deal would be an absolutely perfect fit for the Mariners.

    • My avatar agrees with this sentiment! (See @Frobby comment above) Also - Jordan Westburg is the straw that stirs that drink!
    • I was being conservative, but it looks like you may be right.  44,555 yesterday afternoon.  88,542 for the first two games.   Attendance passed the 1 mm mark yesterday, on the 38th home date.    
    • Came here to read about Bradish and wondering if I clicked wrong because the entire last page is about Cowser….
    • Really not worried about the pitching matchups. It’s about our lineup being able to string together good at bats and put up some crooked numbers.
    • These points are generally accurate, but I think the synthesis skews a bit negative. Overall, I am more positive on Cowser than I was coming in to the season. ·       Is he as good at defense as his OAA says? Probably not. However, he has been a lot better than expected and can likely be average or better in center field or plus in COF the next few years.  Combined with above average base running, this changes the hurdle on the offensive side to be an above-average regular. ·       I’m not sure it’s fair to just write off 40% of the season to date as a hot streak.  I think we would need to compare other players’ stats with their hottest month subtracted out. ·       Since May 1, his xwOBA has been .334. Overall, his xwOBA has been .349 (vs .330 wOBA). Yes, over a full season or more, wOBA tends to correlate to future wOBA equal or better than xwOBA does. However, in a half season or less, xwOBA has a stronger correlation to 2nd half wOBA than wOBA does. See here and here. ·       Cowser’s swing and miss will likely keep him from being elite, but I think he can still be very good.  Compare him to a player like Brent Rooker who has more swing and miss.
    • Especially it being in Texas this year.
    • “If he ain’t starting, he ain’t departing” ( one of my favorite all-time comments).  😇
