Re: 2026 Prospects Thread

Fangraphs has posted the Mariners' Top 25 for 2026: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/seattle-mariners-top-25-prospects/ This is way earlier than usual. I think last year they finally posted for the M's in July or something like that. Maybe this means they'll do a mid-season refresh? Also, there's a new g...

Re: M's sign Patrick Wisdom to a minor league deal

For a guy like Wisdom, there's an MLB service time incentive to stick around in the high minors for another year or two as basically an emergency call-up guy. He isn't likely to get another year, but every 43 days spent on a major league roster counts as 1/4 of a year for pension benefit calculation...

Re: M's sign Patrick Wisdom to a minor league deal

He has a 36% K-rate in the majors going into his age 34 season. I'm sure he'd like to get another year in the majors but it's probably not going to happen. It's a decent career though for a fringe guy.

Re: The official Hot Stove League Thread 2025-26 Offseason

I'm wouldn't be too upset if they went with Geno. I just don't want to see Williamson near this baseball team until he drops a .900 OPS in the minors for a prolonged period of time. Cal Raleigh did not maintain a .900 OPS over his 210 games in the minors: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register...

Re: My plan at this point-

Does anyone think Moncada will have a decent season this year? His last good season was 2021 and then he underperformed in 2022 and it looks like mostly injuries since then. I remember reading a few years ago that he was more interested in his music career than playing baseball. I think he's the ty...

Re: The official Hot Stove League Thread 2025-26 Offseason

At this point I wonder if the Cardinals will trade Donovan at all. Right now it seems they want some sort of major league starting pitcher with significant upside, but if they're ultimately going to settle for prospects, they might prefer to do that at the deadline. It seems odd though that he hasn'...

Re: Infield options for next year

I don't think the Blue Jays will sign Bo now that they have Okamoto. I think I read somewhere that they're moving Gimenez over to short and they like Clement better at 2B. This could push Bo to sign with the Yankees, who could then make Jazz available. There's already been talk about Jazz this offse...
