Last night of the fundraiser. Already $12K raised by #Mariners fans thus far. Consider donating please. Maybe even $29 to honor Cal Raleigh, your 2025 Home Run Derby champion? teamfeed.feedingamerica.org/…

Within 3-4 games of a playoff spot, probably the division. The closer to first, or if they’re actually in first, the more he’ll ok. The more likely the playoffs are, the more “risk” he’ll take

Where do you think the Ms have to be to buy at the deadline? Not where you or I would buy but where Stanton will let them🙄

Right now, nobody. If they play like this for the next 6 weeks, all of them lol. But I’m using what I’d consider to be fair value for each guy and that probably varies greatly from reality
Replying to @controlthezone
Who in the top 10 would you personally be most upset about moving assuming you’re getting the right value back. I.e. even for fair value you would not be happy about

Not Dan’s. He’s an ownership hire. Jerry and Justin is a bit gray. They should be on the hot seat, but idk if Stanton actually cares enough to do that

If they actually sold, and I don’t mean a bench piece or a middle reliever, first guy I’m shopping is Munoz. Going to net you quite a haul. Randy would also be tough to hold on to.

Who is the most likely Mariner to be traded if they fall out of the race by the trade deadline as a seller move. Not that I want it to happen but things aren’t trending well.

Certainly possible. Might depend on how secure Jerry feels. In general, I think you should always be trying to add such a player

A. There’s a ZERO percent chance Jerry Dipoto “supports” ownership’s idiotic payroll restrictions. Zero. B. There’s a tipping point where Jerry becomes so toxic to the fan base, that it becomes a problem. There isn’t a shortage of people who would gladly take JD’s despite it.
Replying to @controlthezone
@controlthezone do you think Jerry's job is actually on the line? I feel like he has done EXACTLY what management has asked, by supporting their "Let's add nobody" plan

I think the Twins probably feel like they have their own Hancock or Evans to roll with for a few months. Don’t see the team trading any of their 5 guys this summer
Replying to @controlthezone
Would the twins be a sneaky trade partner with lopez going down?

There are going to be some names waived this month, so that’s a possibility, but the trade market just isn’t open quite yet. Maybe at the end of the month? But still feels like post ASB is when it’s reasonable

Yeah I think we all hope it’s Murphy. A great second choice is Christian Haynes though

Byron Murphy is probably the obvious answer, but which Seahawks 2nd-year player will take the biggest step up in 2025?

They think they know better than the entire baseball watching world. They don’t.

He’s a streaky hitter. He’s on a bad streak right now, but his inability to damage a fastball right now is a bit of a concern

What do you think is going on with Randy?

Long trip home after a disastrous homestand, so let’s do an #AMA. Haven’t done one in a minute. So let’s get some #Mariners #Seahawks, or non-sports questions for my trip home. Fire away
