Seattle Mariners 2020 season

[Uncle Si]

So the Mariners have traded....

Vogelbach to the Jays for 20 bucks or whatever.

Walker to the Jays for a PTBNL (top 30 Blue Jays prospect)

Nola/Adams/Altavilla to the Padres for Taylor Trammell/Ty France/Andres Munoz/Luis Torrens (great trade)

Taylor Williams to the Padres for a PTBNL

Pretty solid return from the Padres.

Trammell, by all accounts, is a top 5 prospect (atleast in the Ms farm).

Yeah, they are going to have 4 stud outfielders like I said up thread. It’s going to be a nice problem to have.
With the DH you can keep them fresh by giving one a day off in the field, and rotate daily. Also helps if you have a guy that’s banged up, but can still hit.

I'm pumped for what they're doing. Finally seem to be doing it the right way.

So am I..
Jerry,has done a better job than the last how many GM's?
He's building a young strong team.
I hated losing Nola though..I think he is only going to get
better but JD knows more than us..
Go M's!(it's been awhile) :lol:

Yeah Nola was a favorite of mine. But hard to say no when the Padres kept upping the ante on that deal. We got 2 major league players that are hitting 273 and 309 this year and are young and cheap for the next couple years before entering arbitration, and Trammell who might come up this year.

Marco was in tears over moving Nola. Guess they trained together during the shutdown. Got real close. Nola was our best trade bait. Like you say, hard to turn down that deal. I think we made out like bandits.

Nice to see they're still building the farm system, too. Would be nice to see them build for the future for a change. The constant recycling of old "star" FAs gets old pretty quick.

Mariners are building a solid foundation. This is 1st time i can say this in idk how long.

At same time this young Mariners team is 9 and 3 in last 12. They sit 6 back of a struggling houston team. Jerry looked like he was calling it a season but the youngsters aren't yet.

Jerry is just being realistic. But it is weird how this is turning into a really interesting season. :mrgreen:

The amount of young talent on this team is impressive.

Starting pitching as a whole has been better than expected. Jerry is acquiring talent the way JS collects draft picks.
2 of the best prospects in baseball are knocking at the door as well in Kelenic and J-rod (down the road a bit) plus others like Raleigh, Kirby, Gilbert, Marte etc etc and that’s not including the goodies they got in the SD trade.

This is going to be a very good young team for years to come if they can avoid injury’s and if the young studs pan out, which they should.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

This team will be in the playoffs within 2 years. They are very, very good and young. I actually think if this was a longer season, the mariners would end over. 500.

All these young players simply aren't experienced enough to know that they should be losing most of the time. Give them a couple more years in Seattle and they'll come around to The Mariner Way.

This feels so much better than the old way of trading away all of our young talent for old guys whose major purpose is to put butts in the seats rather than wins on the board.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Mariners win again. Houston chokes a double header and loses both. Mariners just 4 back with 21 left. Plus 25th year anniversary of 1995 season. Its a wrap. Playoffs here we come!!!



I kid.

Does seem more and more as if an actual plan is in effect.

Originally they said theyd go for free agent stars with 1-2 years left on their deals to mix wirh the youth. Wonder if that's the plan and when they start targeting them.

That works for me, but the base plan has to depend on the young talent. But a bit early to worry about that. Maybe in the second half of next season or '22. Hopefully, I'll live long enough to see them in the playoffs.

Mariners win again. Houston gets swept by angels. The mariners have gained 4 games in 4 games. They are now 3 back with 20 left.

Am I wrong for wanting highest pick possible?
I love the scrap in this team but it's not their
time yet.

Not at all.. its a strange place to be in. You want good performances from the young players, but not too good.

To that..

Sheffield has slowly started to put together a thing of solid outings.
