Seattle manager Scott Servais on Wednesday defended Jesse Winker in veiled reference to the report that Winker was lazy and disliked by teammates: https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2022/10/19/23413683/mariners-end-of-season-press-conference-free-agency-injury-updates-looking-forward The takeaway from Wednesday's postseason media conference was that the Mariners may have trouble making room for Kyle Lewis, Taylor Trammell, Jesse Winker and Abraham Toro as well as pending free agents Mitch Haniger, Carlos Santana and Adam Frazier. First baseman Eric Hosmer would be a surprising pickup when fellow former Gold Glove winner Evan White probably has more upside on the far, far end of the Seattle bench.

The reference was to the repeated reminders over the years that the Seattle Mariners had not been to the postseason since 2001. Trevor Story (with his underwater contract) was mentioned as a trade piece.

In response to a post about outfield trade candidates, Jesse Winker's name was offered. Thank you asking about about "Winker (2.1) and Flexen (0.3)."
-
FWIW the Mariners were undefeated against the AL East in the postseason and cumulatively outscored postseason opponents over five games. Yordan Alvarez was a thorn despite being retired in 11 of 17 plate appearances against Seattle in the American League Divisional Series. In terms of a Jesse Winker trade, the Red Sox don't have much to offer. Trevor Story and $40 million?

Any interest in one year of Seattle outfielder Jesse Winker at $8.25 million? Winker may have fallen out of favor in Seattle: https://twitter.com/MarinersSUR/status/1582397824209416192 Or not.

Michael Conforto Joc Pederson Cody Bellinger if non-tendered by Dodgers

Hey, the Mariners probably posted a Pythagorean record of 1-2 after being outscored only 13-9 in a three-game series.;)

Notify me when the discussion returns to baseball.

The Red Sox have bounced back from four last-place finishes over the past decade or so but the current challenges may be even more daunting. Should be a fascinating year or two.

The Mariners have hung with the heavily favored Astros for 35 innings but may be swept.

Gotta pull for the rare player from Wyoming. As a baseball fan for six years in Wyoming this poster got to cheer for native sons in lefthander Tom Browning, who tossed a perfect game, and outfielder Mike Devereaux, who once finished seventh in the AL MVP voting. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/brownto05.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/devermi01.shtml

To be precise: This year's on-base percentage leaders were Aaron Judge (.425), Freddie Freeman (.407), Yordan Alvarez (.406), Paul Goldschmidt (.404), Yandy Diaz (.401) and Juan Soto (.401): https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2022&month=0&season1=2022&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2022-01-01&enddate=2022-12-31&sort=14,d

The "No one" presumably includes outfielder Wil Myers, whose $20 million team option is likely to be declined by the San Diego Padres.

Seattle starter George Kirby looked strong closing out the ninth inning of the Mariners' 10-9 come-from-behind win over Toronto last Saturday: MLB Gameday: Mariners 10, Blue Jays 9 Final Score (10/08/2022) | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM Follow MLB results with FREE box scores, pitch-by-pitch strikezone info, and Statcast data for Mariners vs. Blue Jays at Rogers Centre Robbie Ray? Not so much.

Over his last two slumping seasons Joey Gallo has an on-base percentage of .323 in 279 games. Over the same period Mitch Haniger has an on-base percentage of .316 in 212 games.
-
Let's not forget Michael Conforto, who joins Mitch Haniger, Joey Gallo, Joc Pederson and Cody Bellinger as former All Stars (an honor that has eluded Brandon Nimmo).
-
The chances are slim but not nil. With payroll flexibility the Mariners have shown a willingness to overpay and his public comments in recent years have demonstrated that Haniger is invested in Seattle's long-range future.
-
Indeed Mitch Haniger would likely take the qualifying offer.
-
What is the Seattle Mariners extend Mitch Haniger a qualifying offer? The free agent compensation rules are complicated under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
-
Perhaps not better than Mitch Haniger, but Gold Glove winners Joey Gallo and, if non-tendered by the Dodgers, Cody Bellinger, in addition to Joc Pederson.
