  1. It's a long season and the better teams often rise toward the top. Or not.
  2. FanGraphs projects rest-of-season wRC+ of 99 and WAR of 0.5 for Jarren Duran, who in 25 games since the All Star break has posted a .241/.308/.422/.729 line. In August Duran has posted a .177/.222/.412/.634 line in 10 games.
  3. Jarren Duran may be this year’s biggest surprise but his 2.6 fWAR trails the 3.9 fWAR posted by Julio Rodriguez.
  4. BTV has offered volatile valuations for nearly 27-year-old Jarren Duran, who had posted a negative 0.4 fWAR in each of his two previous seasons. The Mariners would probably prefer to take their chances with outfielders Cade Marlowe, Dominic Canzone and Taylor Trammell (to complement Julio Rodriguez and Jarred Kelenic going forward).
  5. Do the Red Sox have a controllable bat to spare? https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2023/8/10/23826775/the-mariners-have-drafted-and-developed-an-entire-rotation-in-just-five-years
  6. Over the past two seasons Kutter Crawford has tossed 10 shutout innings in Seattle. The T-Mobile Park crowd has awakened.
  7. In attendance on a beautiful August afternoon to watch my floundering Mariners.😟
  8. The Seattle lineup is missing Teoscar Hernandez, who apparently remains a Mariner despite swirling trade rumors: https://www.marinertalk.com/download/file.php?id=8413&mode=view
  9. A healthy Luis Arias could be a great asset.
  10. MLB Trade Rumors rarely offers original reporting. It's an aggregator that relays secondhand information that typically originates from an organization that employs real reporters. MLBTR sells goods produced by others by summarizing under a Fair Use Doctrine. The original source does not complain if MLBTR provides a link that increases traffic to the original source. In recent years MLB Trade Rumors has offered some analysis and commentary that can be distinguished from reporting.
  11. Today the Mariners sold off their expendables, not their core. Should be a good series. For the second straight year this poster will be treated to a Kutter Crawford start at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. The righthander did fine last year: MLB Gameday: Red Sox 2, Mariners 0 Final Score (06/12/2022) | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM Follow MLB results with FREE box scores, pitch-by-pitch strikezone info, and Statcast data for Red Sox vs. Mariners at T-Mobile Park Paul Sewald, who was traded today, surrendered a two-run homer to Rafael Devers for the game's only runs.
  12. Unlikely Yankee trade target: https://www.pinstripealley.com/2023/7/28/23809494/yankees-mlb-trade-deadline-red-sox-rotation-lefty-starting-pitcher-fastball-cutter-curveball

  14. The minor league comps of lefthand-hitting Triston Casas and Seattle's Jarred Kelenic, who were born six months apart and who were taken out of high school with the 26th and sixth picks of the June 2018 draft: TC 284 G, .269/.374/.485/.858 JK 289 G, .295/.369/.540/.909 Kelenic was nearly written off after his historically dismal first two MLB seasons but has rebounded with a 135 OPS+ and 1.6 bWAR so far this year.
  15. That makes two of us.
  16. A tip of the cap to the Red Sox.
  17. Last night Cal Raleigh became the first catcher in Fenway Park history to homer from both sides of the plate in a single game. Take that, Jason Varitek.
  18. FWIW entering Tuesday's games the Seattle Mariners ranked sixth in MLB in run differential: https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/run-differential
  19. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Enough to prompt one fan's exodus.
  20. FWIW FanGraphs currently gives the Red Sox a 26.9 percent chance and the Seattle Mariners a 28.6 percent chance of advancing to the postseason: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds A year ago the Mariners came into Fenway Park with a humble 17-21 record and left 17-25 after a four-game Red Sox sweep.
