Kristian Robinson has an interesting background: https://www.azfamily.com/2023/05/30/d-backs-prospect-kristian-robinson-reinstated-set-resume-career-after-legal-issues/?outputType=amp This summer Robinson had a return stint with a minor league club where I held a minimum-wage job. Everyone in the organization was pulling for Robinson.

MLB.com lists its top five starting pitchers who might be available in a trade this offseason: Best starting pitchers available by trade in 2023-24 offseason WWW.MLB.COM We know that this winter’s free agent market is much stronger in pitching than it is in position players, but at the same time, we also know that there’s not nearly enough supply to meet demand. It’s not that hard to find a contender who could use a starter, because On Tuesday columnist Jim Bowden at The Athletic matched the Red Sox with free agent lefthander Blake Snell under a seven-year, $174 million contract: https://theathletic.com/5095038/2023/11/28/mlb-free-agents-hot-stove-matchmaking/

After taking college pitchers Logan Gilbert, George Kirby and Emerson Hancock with their first-round picks in 2018-20, the Seattle Mariners have since drafted high school position players, including three shortstops, in the first round: https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?team_ID=SEA&draft_round=1&draft_type=junreg&query_type=franch_round In 2021 the Mariners drafted college pitchers Bryce Miller and Bryan Woo in the fourth and sixth rounds, respectively.

Indeed a disappointing season for the Seattle Mariners. Over the past three seasons the Mariners were lucky until they were unlucky. Seattle's won/loss record, Pythagorean record and record in one-run games: 2021 90-72, 76-86, 33-19 2022 90-72, 89-73, 34-22 2023 88-74, 91-71, 25-26

The Seattle Mariners missed the 2023 postseason when their 88 wins were insufficient for a Wild Card slot.

Since, and including, the 2015 draft, the Red Sox have had twice as many Top 10 draft picks as the Seattle Mariners. Compare the first-round draft picks of each franchise: https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?team_ID=SEA&draft_round=1&draft_type=junreg&query_type=franch_round https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?team_ID=BOS&draft_round=1&draft_type=junreg&query_type=franch_round Even throwing Seattle's two extra first-round picks in 2023, since 2015 the average Red Sox first-round pick was No. 16 and the average Mariner first-round pick was No. 14.875.

The Seattle draft picks, to be precise: Logan Gilbert, 14th overall pick in 2018 draft George Kirby, 20th pick of 2019 draft Emerson Hancock, 6th pick of 2020 draft Bryce Miller, 113rd pick of 2021 draft Bryan Woo, 174th pick of the 2021 draft Hancock, the highest pick, has made the least MLB impact to date. The Red Sox had the fourth pick in the 2021 draft that produced two likely 2024 Seattle starters. Next July the Red Sox will draft ahead of the Mariners for the third time in four years.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations
harmony replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Trivia: Craig Breslow and Seattle's Jerry Dipoto -- rare top team executives who played in the Major Leagues -- were MLB relievers who posted identical career bWAR of 6.3, Breslow in 12 MLB seasons and Dipoto in eight seasons. FanGraphs gives Dipoto the edge over Breslow in career fWAR, 5.1 to 2.0. -
The Seattle Mariners skip AAA with many pitching prospects, including Bryce Miller and Bryan Woo. Logan Gilbert and George Kirby made only one AAA start apiece.

Luis Urias, who was born and raised in Mexico, will get to work with touted Seattle infield coach Perry Hill, who played six seasons in the Mexican League: https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2022/10/6/23355628/perry-hill-mariners-coach-defensive-wizardry-rooted-in-respect-jp-crawford-ty-france FWIW
-
Luis Urias’ negative 2 Defensive Runs Saved in 208.2 innings at second base for the Red Sox brought his career DRS at second base down to 0 in 1080.2 innings. The 26-year-old Urias has posted 11 DRS in 1319.1 career innings at third base and could audition next season to replace Seattle third baseman Eugenio Suarez, who will be in the final year of his contract.
-
The Red Sox essentially traded Bradley Blalock for Isaiah Campbell with two months of Luis Urias stuck in between.
-
The timing of the trade at the non-tender deadline suggests that the Red Sox did not think Luis Urias was worth his projected 2024 salary of $4.7 million. The Mariners apparently felt otherwise. Seattle adds Urias to its second base mediocrity pile of Josh Rojas, Jose Caballero, Dylan Moore and Sam Haggerty. And the Mariners are high on second base prospect Ryan Bliss, a nearly 24-year-old Mookie Betts Lite. Sort of.
