FWIW Isaiah Campbell exceeded the rookie limits in 2023 but remains the only prospect-type Seattle has traded this offseason in revamping the Mariner lineup under financial constraints. On Friday the Mariners acquired outfielders Luke Raley and Mitch Haniger, as well as veteran starter Anthony DeSclafani, without adding to the 2024 payroll. Spotrac currently projects Seattle with a $117.4 million payroll in 2024, down from the $131.8 million payroll last year. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/seattle-mariners/payroll/ upper righthand corner What front office statement has been more frustrating to fans?

With the Red Sox sending $17 million to the Braves, for the next six seasons the Sox effectively will be paying nearly $3 million annually over Grissom's actual salary ... if Grissom sticks in the majors.

The contract predictions for Lucas Giolito were all over the place. MLB Trade Rumors had Giolito at two years, $44 million; The Athletic two years, $24 million with opt out after first year; FanGraphs columnist Ben Clemens four years, $60 million; and FanGraphs crowdsource two years, $30 million. The Red Sox did OK.

Good signing.

A fair-value offer is unlikely to land one year of Corbin Burnes. Given the current market for starting pitching, the best offer for Burnes should easily exceed fair value as measured by some contemporary metrics. However, the market will ultimately set the price if the Brewers trade Burnes. -

Just today this poster thought Seattle should pursue James Paxton if the Mariners trade a starter for an impact bat.

The Red Sox could use Luis Urias, whom this poster was high on after each of his trades to the Sox and the Mariners. Urias comes with risks but an upside is there.

The Red Sox reportedly are interested in lefthander James Paxton:

Jonathan Papelbon responds to Alex Verdugo: :rolleyes:

Much has been written about the strength of Seattle's pitching but this year the Mariners' core up-the-middle trio of Cal Raleigh, J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez combined for 15.5 fWAR, more than all Red Sox position players combined (13.6). Regression may await a Seattle lineup that appears out of balance.
