Not a needle mover at all; hitting 211 this year with 15 hr. His WAR is an all time low. No wonder they gave him away.

Yeah, you're not wrong but also he would be Seattle's second best bat even with those stats.
 
Having said that, he's going to come into Seattle and get our hitting disease and slump to .130 probably.
 
The one player I specifically didn't want, they get.

This team is so stupid.

Honestly I think it's just being one of the worst teams of the 4 main sports leagues...what I mean by that is, this is all we can get. Like when the Blazers sign a Derrick Jones Jr. for instance.
 
Randy has an OPS of .920 since June 1st.

hes gonna be a huge upgrade

Nah. We can get more. Our farm system is loaded...so offload some of it.

I'm also just annoyed cause I've never been an arozarena fan. Watched a lot of him and I think the fan base is not going to like him as a player.

I read a few Mariners fan comments. While some are in #FireStotts mode, a few grumblings take a softer approach. They're pointing fingers at hitting coach Jarrett DeHart.

Baseball is more compartmentalized then basketball. Swapping out assistant coaches can make a difference.

But for some reason (nepotism perhaps?) the Mariners are sticking with a batting coach who was an OK hitter for about 4 different college teams, but he never stepped foot on pro level grass. Until of course the Mariners hired him to coach.
 
Got a 34 year old reliever. Clase to the blue Jays

My takeaway: we aren't getting Vladdy. So this has been a bad trade deadline.
 
Mariners tattooed an 8 piece on CWS starter Drew Thorpe.
 
M's so far have done pretty good and still have like 3 or 4 days to get more done so anyone crapping the deadline before it's over knows jack -- facts

Also for people saying they should have gotten so and so you do realize the guys they were linked too ex. Pete A from the Mets is off the market since the Mets started to win and now in the hunt for a wild cat spot or other things like keeping fans interested in buying Tix instead of trading away your star -- see Jays and Vlad Jr. I fully admit I am more a NBA fan but common sense and such should tell you what i just laid out and again if not well that is on you - that is a fact

Arozerena doesn't solve the problem.

Arozerena and vladdy do.

It's a failed trade deadline if they don't get more hitters, period. Thar is not up for discussion.

Common sense, which is where I'm coming from, is this is a C+ at best so far.

Alonzo sucks. He would have been a downgrade.

There's more to get. If this is where it ends it's an abject failure, and again, there's no discussion because that is the only correct answer.

They got the wrong Blue Jay, sadly.
 
I think the Red Sox plinked the Green Monster 6 times. They should build a Seafoam Blue Monster in Seattle.

"Its soooo much better.
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It's so much eaaasier
When seafoam green is in fashion"
 
Disappointing trade deadline has come and gone. Ownership simply doesn't care about winning. Seriously, they are gunning for 54% and asses in seats. thats it.

I'll give them some grace because it was obvious they were trying for vlad by extensive talks with the blue Jay's.

But they have to accept the offer, too. I wanted vlad bad but that asking price was probably steep af.
 
You also have to remember that JP and Julio are coming back.

We actually have a decent lineup. Not GREAT, but decent. And honestly, like in basketball, if you have one amazing thing (offense for basketball, pitching for baseball) you just need a league average offense.

There is some hope.
