    Already faced with more travel, West Coast teams need to put up with frequent makeup games on the East Coast and in the Midwest. It's a disadvantage.

    The Red Sox opened the season by going 2-6 in Seattle and Oakland after last year's 108-win club had posted a 3-4 record in Seattle (in June) and Oakland (in late April). The waxing was not that far out of the ordinary.

    According to this website, Andrew Benintendi has a slight edge over Shane Bieber in surplus value: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/

    The Seattle Mariners are unlikely to trade lefthander Wade LeBlanc with his reasonable salary and team-friendly options through 2022. Since moving from a starting role to a headliner role (following an opener), LeBlanc has posted a 2.97 ERA and .228 BAA in seven appearances covering 39.1 innings: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=leblawa01&t=p&year=2019

    It's tough playing in an AL West that lacks teams at the low competition of the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays.

    The woeful Seattle Mariners have surrendered six or fewer runs in their last 12 games after giving up 10 or more runs in 17 earlier games.

    The Seattle Mariners on Thursday kept pace with the Red Sox with their 18th blown save. Unlike the Sox the Mariners suffered their second straight loss on a blown save (the M’s lost 5-2 Wednesday after entering the ninth inning with a 2-0 lead).

    This year the Seattle Mariners have used 34 pitchers (or 32 pitchers plus two position players who taken the mound). Entering the season with low expectations, the Mariners have had the luxury of auditioning pitchers. The auditions have not gone well.😀

    I saw the Red Sox play in Anaheim three days after Nick Adenhart’s death there 10 years ago.

    I agree with each sentence.😋

    No chance unless the Mariners move to the AL East.

    The Red Sox chances of advancing to the postseason have dropped below 50 percent at FiveThirtyEight: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2019-mlb-predictions/ ... but remain above 50 percent at FanGraphs: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds

    What if the Red Sox could find a taker for David Price, J.D. Martinez and Nathan Eovaldi a la the trade of Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford?

    After 83 games in 2004 the Red Sox were in second place, six games behind the Yankees and tied with with the Athletics for the only Wild Card slot.

    That’s almost as long as a cricket match. In London four years ago I wanted to attend The Ashes cricket match between England and Australia but the scalpers outside the stadium would not come down to my price.😋

    Is a Wild Card slot worth trading away longer-term assets? That’s the question many teams face each July.
  18. harmony
    Perhaps I should quit bad-mouthing the Orioles, the only team to beat the Mariners in the M’s last seven games.😋

    Thank you for the clarification. I should have put my eyeglasses on before posting.😗

    It’s hard to clear salary space on three aging players who have combined for a negative 1.0 fWAR this season. Teams need other incentives to take on contracts that are under water.

    To be precise, that's not a fact, it's an opinion ... an opinion not supported by the numbers. Another approach would be to add up the current numerical Team Ratings at FiveThirtyEight: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2019-mlb-predictions/ The American League East adds up to 7527 and the American League West 7561. I entered this discussion only to offer that the fine teams in the American League East can pad their win totals playing in the same division as the Orioles and Blue Jays. That is well established by the numbers. If the last-place Mariners and last-place Orioles swapped divisions this year, I suspect the top AL East teams would win fewer games and the top AL West teams would win more games. A swap of the fourth-place Blue Jays and the fourth-place Angels would likely move the needle in the same direction.

    To trade places with the New York Yankees, yes. Last season the AL East posted cumulative record of 418-392 (.516) while the AL West posted a cumulative record of 436-374 (.538). The AL East, however, held its own in head-to-head competition against the AL West with an 83-82 record (but has fallen to 43-50 so far this year). BTW, I don't joke around with guns.

    :) All five teams have won an American League East title this decade, so ...

    At the trade deadline three years ago the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired reliever Josh Fields from the Houston Astros for 19-year-old Yordan Alvarez, who was about six months younger than Triston Casas' current age. https://therunnersports.com/yordan-alvarez-for-josh-fields-trade-threatens-to-top-astros-jeff-bagwell-steal-of-1990/ It's always a gamble.

    Nathan Eovaldi has a career ERA+ of 95 and had posted an ERA+ of 99 in 10 starts with the Tampa Bay Rays last year before his outlier overperformance with the Red Sox. Well-wishes to Eovaldi but his $68 million contract is among the riskier around.
