    The Mariners would likely top the proposed offer, which was accepted at Baseball Trade Values with more up votes than down votes: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/trade-88834/ The accepted trade apparently is discussion-worthy.

    Entering tonight's game Trevor Story led the Red Sox with eight Defensive Runs Saved: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=0&type=1&season=2022&month=0&season1=2022&ind=0&team=3&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2022-01-01&enddate=2022-12-31&sort=12,d

    The Padres may well receive better offers ... no argument there. But moving Eric Hosmer and his negative $34.5 million trade value would cost the Padres valuable prospects. Wil Myers and his negative $7.5 million trade value would be harder to move than Blake Snell and his $700,000 surplus trade value. Neither Hosmer nor Myers would yield an impressive return.

    The Mariners could remove Justin Upton from the deal, which would give the Padres a wider edge in the trade, according to Baseball Trade Values: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/trade-88834/ ... although the original proposal has received more thumbs-up than thumbs-down at BTV. The Padres probably would welcome a trade of Ha-Seong Kim, who has a negative $1.4 million trade value at Baseball Trade Values. The $33 million in financial commitments to Snell and Kim after this season impact the Padres and their luxury tax (although only $17 million would count against the threshold in 2023).

    Baseball Trade Values assigns Blake Snell a surplus value of only $700,000 because of the $22.3 million remaining on his contract through 2023. BTV assigns Ha-Seong Kim a negative trade value of $1.4 million on a contract that runs through 2024. It all depends on how far the Padres will go to avoid the luxury tax: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/06/padres-trade-rumors-blake-snell-luxury-tax.html

    From a June 28 mailbag with Dennis Lin, the Padre beat reporter for The Athletic: https://theathletic.com/3386941/2022/06/28/padres-mailbag-joe-musgrove-esteury-ruiz/?source=emp_shared_article No one suggests the proposed trade involves equal talent on each side. The point is that the Padres reportedly want to clear payroll and that the Mariners are in a position to take on payroll.

    What about Seattle manager Scott Servais, whose team would be in the postseason for the first time since 2001 if the season ended today? Three weeks ago the Mariners fell 10 games under .500 at 29-39 after losing four of five at home to the lowly Los Angeles Angels. Seattle has since won 16 of 19 as the M's await the returns of Mitch Haniger, Kyle Lewis, Jesse Winker and Taylor Trammell. With an Opening Day payroll that ranked 22nd at about $94 million, the Mariners trail the Red Sox by two games with a projected easier schedule the remainder of the year.

    Given this vapid exchange, you'd think middle schoolers were out for the summer. Who wants to discuss baseball?

    The Mariners should trail the Guardians by one game after tonight's game but needed a Red Sox win tonight to move within three games of the Rays for the final Wild Card berth.

    The Red Sox scored 33 runs in a three-game road series May 24-26 against the Chicago White Sox (and still lost one game).

    No worries. The Nationals are unlikely to trade Josh Bell for Brandon Walter, a former 26th-round draft pick who has pitched only 7.2 inning above Double A as the lefthander approaches his 26th birthday in September.

    Ken Giles, who has surrendered one hit and no runs in four appearances since his activation June 20, was mentioned as a potential trade target in an Over the Monster podcast last month: https://www.overthemonster.com/2022/6/10/23162366/the-red-seat-podcast-early-trade-targets ZiPS projects Carlos Santana with a rest-of-season wRC+ of 113; to date Red Sox first basemen have posted a wRC+ of 81. Santana has played in 58 games this season and in June posted a cherry-picked .323/.450/.492/.942 line in 80 plate appearances.

    Would the Red Sox have any interest in reliever Ken Giles or first baseman Carlos Santana of the Seattle Mariners?

    Alejandro Kirk is a 23-year-old who had posted a .322/.411/.525/.936 (OPS+ 166) in 231 plate appearances this year before leading off the bottom of the ninth inning with a single tonight. In what universe is Kirk a "beer league softball player"?

    FWIW after Wednesday's games the Seattle Mariners led all teams with 469 runners left on base while the Red Sox were 10th with 442: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors/2022.shtml

    It happens. As a team the Red Sox stranded 13 runners today but in losing a three-game weekend series the Seattle Mariners outhit the Red Sox 24-18 while stranding 29 runners (and the Red Sox only 16).

    Yep. I sat in stunned silence Sunday in the top of the eighth inning.

    Rafael Devers hit an 0-and-2 pitch that was way out of the strike zone. Not a bad pitch by Paul Sewald but Devers is a great hitter. Sewald surrendered two late-inning go-ahead home runs in two games separated by less than 24 hours. Ouch.

    I am at the game, the 24th straight Red Sox game against an opponent with a current losing record. How is that possible?
