What are they going to get with a larger payroll? I think George Springer is needed. He is a clutch player when playing and could help them as a RH bat vs.Lefties. Would be just like us to pull a guy with one foot in retirement and put him in our lineup... https://heavy.com/sports/mlb/toronto-blue-...

I am actually wondering if this is the offseason that we actually bump payroll above 180m. I know everyone will shit on it and say no, but they HAVE to be feeling the pressure from this season.

Wouldn't it be nice to spread a few runs to a couple of other games this year? Heck, just slide 3 over to yesterday.

Just amazing that he was the guy who cost us the pennant last year, and then this year he's devolved into a complete mess who's giving up home runs at a rate we've never seen from a Mariner relief pitcher. That's the Mariner franchise in a nutshell. The guy who throws the worst pitch in franchise h...

Well Cal has been having a few of them lately. Last 30 days . 256/.385 /.628/ 1.013
