Good observation. Today's interesting discussion of the winner's curse: https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2022/3/21/22988027/seattle-mariners-jerry-dipoto-and-the-winners-curse-free-agency-robbie-ray-trevor-story

A team with a stronger farm system could probably top any Red Sox offer that does not include Triston Casas, Marcelo Mayer, Nick Yorke or Jarren Duran.

For Kendall Graveman (and Rafael Montero), the Astros also gave up veteran reliever Joe Smith, today's Twins signee who outperformed Graveman for the balance of the 2021 season.

To be precise: The Kansas City Royals traded for Amir Garrett.

Baseball Trade Values has its share of Red Sox trade proposals for Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/?team_filter=604 The Seattle Mariners are likely in the same market, especially for one year of Manaea.

Many teams need good pitchers. According to Roster Resource, the current No. 5 starter for the Seattle Mariners is 23-year-old righthander Matt Brash, who has never pitched above Double A where he made only 10 appearances. Baseball America ranks Brash No. 45 on its Top 100 prospect list. The Mariners have the financial flexibility and/or prospect assets to swing a deal for another starter.
-
With the Opening Day uncertainty of Kyle Lewis and Julio Rodriguez, the Mariners are likely to open the year with a defensively suspect outfield of Mitch Haniger, Jarred Kelenic and Jesse Winker. Taylor Trammell could be in the mix and Roster Resource currently lists Abraham Toro as the Seattle designated hitter. In his final year of team control, Haniger could be available at the trade deadline, especially if Julio Rodriguez has made a productive MLB debut.

The Reds reportedly will also receive a player to be named or cash considerations. Seattle GM Jerry Dipoto today said the PTBNL would not be someone on the 40-man roster.

Brandon Williamson $15.4 million Justin Dunn $4.9 million Jake Fraley $2.7 million TOTAL $23 million Jesse Winker $19.1 million Eugenio Suarez negative $8.9 million TOTAL $10.2 million The Mariners may have a higher value on the 30-year-old Suarez, who is owed about $11.3 million annually for the next three seasons. Suarez posted a 127 ERA+ with 109 home runs in 2017-19 before falling off steeply the past two seasons. A small sample but perhaps the Mariners saw something in the .370/.460/.808/1.268 line Suarez posted in 89 plate appearances last September and October. Adding only about $17.5 million to the 2022 payroll, Seattle got two years of Winker and three years of Suarez, with an average current age barely on the young side of 30. The Mariners should be able to afford another starting pitcher.

Baseball Trade Rumors has the trade as a major overpay by the Seattle Mariners ($23 million to $10.2 million). Losing lefthander Brandon Williamson hurts. It's Brandon Williamson, Justin Dunn and Jake Fraley for Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suarez. The Reds reportedly will also get a player to be named. The Mariners paid a steep price for needed bats. Seattle fans wonder what transaction comes next.

There's something to be said for a young adult experiencing the social ills of a sh*thole as a student at a top-ranked program.

The advice is appreciated. There is something alluring about world-class schools of medicine, nursing and public health plopped into the middle of a much-maligned city.

That poster had gone to college in Orange County. Even South Central Los Angeles (and Inglewood) have experienced some gentrification since I survived the 1992 riots while living in the relative safety of the Los Feliz neighborhood.

My daughter may apply to a graduate program that gets more applicants from California than from any other state. On a forum, Californians extol the benefits of the stark adjustment. One student noted the difference between "Disneyland and a war zone." Another opined: Southern California, “where everything is sugar-coated all the time. … In Baltimore, it’s just real, and raw.”

To get out of her La Jolla comfort zone I have encouraged my 23-year-old daughter to experience Baltimore for two years.

I prefer the free admission to all Northwest Conference college baseball games. BTW last year marked the first year that I paid for the cable package that includes the Seattle Mariners and the Portland Trail Blazers (and now the Seattle Kraken). The package was my pandemic treat.

I live in a city with a NCAA Division I team, and in a state with a D1 powerhouse, but I've turned my attention to small college baseball. The Northwest Conference has nine NCAA Division III members: five in Oregon and four in Washington state. I hope to see a home game of each member, Pacific Northwest spring weather permitting. I've now seen games at four stadiums but this weekend's weather threatens the only planned overnight trip, one to eastern Washington. The competition is fairly even and I have mixed feelings about the constant and sometimes over-the-top chatter/cheering from the dugouts. The local High A minor league team has its home opener on April 8.

Absent revenue sharing, many franchises presumably generate revenues that exceed expenses. Absent revenue sharing, could some franchises have expenses that exceed revenues? Where does franchise valuation fit into the calculation? Might revenues vary widely among the 30 franchises? Should the MLB enterprise ignore those discrepancies? Every answer raises three more questions.
