    Yeah, Im a Duran guy - but that smells like a rare win/win
  2. drewski6
    Crochet Tolle Jason Lee Scott Sonny came home Theres not even a playoff rotation spot for Bello and/or Early
  3. drewski6
    Likely because other teams are getting aggressive on the position players and this was a way to shop without getting into bidding wars.
  4. drewski6
    Jason is a good get, dont get me wrong
  5. drewski6
    Because we have 9 good starting pitchers and Duran is our most trust worthy hitter. Trade Cedanne, if anyone.
  6. drewski6
    Bello for Paredes?
  7. drewski6
    So we got Jason, eh? Not a bad pitcher, but I had a lot of confidence in Crochet, Sonny, Tolle, and Bello If they trade Tolle, Ill lose my sh*t Maybe they'll trade Early for a bat?
  8. drewski6
    Sure, Im open to Duran for Paredes and more, but my first choice is harrison and philips for paredes. If they insist on Duran, we need more.
  9. drewski6
    And Im happy
  10. drewski6
    Give me either Bo OR Paredes AND Geno Suarez
  11. drewski6
    I can be talked into giving Duran for Paredes (and more) if we are also signing Geno. KC works too. My main point is that in 2026, theres very little full time at a specific position. And because we failed to land any big dollar free-agents, its easier to just ignore Yoshida now. IF we go sign Bo, we prob wont also be able to bump Yoshida off DH for Suarez. I almost see it as Bo/Yoshida OR Paredes/Geno. Either of these and its a salvage.
  12. drewski6
    With injuries/slumps/and the DH spot, there will be plenty of playing time for mayer. We'll just be a 2026 team in 2026. Guys moving around, hottest 9 bats playing, plenty of days off, plenty of platooning. New school, baby. Adapt or get left behind.

    We didnt want to consider Yoshida's 18m sunk when we were trying to fit an Alonso, or a Bregman. Now that is no longer an issue, its easier to justify Yoshida in a non everyday capacity. Trade Harrison and Philips for Paredes; sign Suarez. (The order of positions below matter, also, guys are listed based on number of games played, the spacing isnt intentional Story SS/2b Paredes 3B/2b/1B/DH Eugenio Sanchez DH/3b/1b Anthony LF/CF/DH Duran CF/LF/DH Abreu RF Contreras: 1b/c/DH Cedanne: CF/2b/ss Nav: C Mayer 2b/3b/ss Romy 2b/3b/1b/DH Yoshida: DH/LF/1b Casas: 1b/DH Wong: C DHam: 2b/3b/ss Mix and match.
  14. drewski6
    Bregman : 35m Paredes:9m* (if you flip Duran for him him, thats really only 1-2m) You can easily get Geno and Paredes (even if you dont include Duran)
  15. drewski6
    Bo was unstoppable last year before he got hurt, he came back for the world series, played hurt, and you still couldnt get him out. He was beating elite pitchers hurt. He was on absolute fire. Granted its baseball, and streaky in general. But I think you have to put a little extra weight on what youve seen most recently. Which makes Bo look 10x better than Geno. Im certainly NOT over here hoping we dont move on Bo. The pitching is already elite close to elite as well.
  16. drewski6
    Funny what having elite hitting can do
  17. drewski6
    One way to do it is to cultivate a culture of honesty and to build a relationship with Bregman over time that fosters trust. Therefore, its not solely a game of deception or spy vs spy. Works both ways though, if you want to get honesty and transparency , you have to give it.

    I agree, DD was on a runaway bullet train heading for a cliff, and only the power of friendship could have saved him. He had tried to make friends, but the sincerity of those efforts were labeled a sham. He did , have one trick up his sleeve, however, and when the train was about to go over the cliff he said "Mariners, Mariners, Mariners" Harmony reluctantly saved him per Harmonys contract with the spirit of pojections, which forces him to appear whenever such sacred word is uttered.
  19. drewski6
    Close: DD and not DD Team DD: Dave Dombrowski, Dan Duquette, Dunkin Donuts, Dungeons and Dragons, Designated Drivers Team not DD: Everything and anything that doesnt have "DD" initials
  20. drewski6
    Ive seen this movie before, and it ends with Mariners trading for Bichette while Blue Jays ink Suarez, only for us to jsut fall shot of Phil's offer for Bo.
  21. drewski6
    I dont think Breslow sleuth'd out the info he needed to sleuth out.
  22. drewski6
    Not relevant. The current conversation that Im having is not about sticking with your assigned value vs panicking at rumors....its about Breslows inability to effectively conversate preventing him from deducing needed info (the competitiveness of his offer) The offer was competitive and it was obviously designed to be. There was no sham, just a second place offer. Would Breslow have added more money should he known his offer wasnt enough? Im not sure, but I think more likely than not. He just had no idea because listening (part of communicating) isnt his strong suit. Dont get me wrong, I was just telling my buddy. Hes smart and knows baseball but hes jsut a douche. I think it got in his way here, and it isnt the first time. I like that Breslow is smart and aggressive. There's def been more activity than there was in the Bloom years, which I liked the first year of, then it felt like jsut rolling the same mediocre roster over every year

    Good points, but to expand, its not always a retroactive look at how much you got vs how much you paid, and thats what some people just cant figure out. And its not that complicated. Lets say I have 3 awesome players who are all on pre-arb deals. They are all young. You may think: hey, we can get a little greedy here and cram a lot of talent onto this team, becuase these 3 are all super cheap and contributing, and we can take advantage of that by spending on guys around them and have this awesome team. Sure it will get hard to keep these guys , but we'll have a nice window of overlap before those guys need to get paid with the players we brought in. Whether or not to extend your players is a decision. To have them for less cheap in the front end in order to buy some FA years at a discount. And like most decisions, its case by case. Id rather have a guy give me 8 WAR for $10m when I have a good team around him than have a guy give me 10 WAR for $8m on a team that stinks (aside from him). There is a timing element to all of this. Its not as simple as simple minds want it to be.

    Sure - agents lie, and so do teams. I understnad that theres reason not to believe everything you hear. But asking questions to flush out the honesty/sincerety of competitive offers is a sign of a good communicator, and thats all what we're saying here.... That communication skills are important. Becuase they are. Always. For everybody.
  25. drewski6
    There was a communication breakdown between us and Bregmans team, we thought we had the best offer outstanding when we didnt, and now Bregman is a cub.
