Sucking to get the best pick in the draft and then making the ALCS the following season seems like a better strategy than going for the perpetually mediocre Mariners seasons. Or not. I'm sure an extra win in May is better than wins in October.

Bloom on catching situation and Vazquez: "You don't take it for granted when you have someone who's shown he can do it."
Huh?
I guess I need access to the stats Bloom has. This could also just be media speak.

Red Sox won't bring back 1B coach Tom Goodwin, says Bloom. Sox intend to bring back rest of the staff.
Goodwin was notably not able to coach first base for Boston during the playoffs as he was not vaccinated. Quality control coach Ramón Vázquez took over those duties for the postseason. Bloom made sure to clarify in the press conference that Goodwin’s vaccination status did not play into the decision.
I was going through the Sox rosters for the seasons of which I was alive and found out that Alejandro De Aza, played in 60 games for the Sox in 2015 and had a 120 OPS+. This didn't really happen, did it? This doesn't seem correct.

A historic day for our franchise!
Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. has joined the Mariners Partnership Group.
Wow, they actually did it! Successful season!
Elktonnick won't even need to post anymore. Robots will do all the complaining for him. He can just sit back, enjoy some mushed Fenway Franks and no longer worry that friends like Muggah are no longer allowed to post.
In "person" attendance will no longer be required. Laserparks will now look like a dystopian Monday Night Raw from 2020. https://www.wrestlerant.com/columnist-corner/monday-night-raw-review-august-31-2020
