Jerry mumbo jumbo...

The first question to Dipoto in his post-trade news conference: How does this trade make sense to the Mariners?

"It probably doesn't as a standalone, but it's part of a context that's going to be an ongoing story over the next couple of days'' as the trade deadline nears, Dipoto said.

There ya go, thought graveman was gonna be an interesting trade piece...was thinking yesterday dipoto probably stands pat, but I guess that's not his nature

LOL I like the trade but wondering where you see Toro on their prospect list. Oh Maybe Joe Smith is the hot prospect?

[Big Mike]

That said, Graveman is a free agent at season’s end

From what I read it sounds like this was a major gut punch to the guys in the locker room.

How utterly Mariners of them. Until money is no longer the first and foremost consideration for this franchise and winning becomes so, it will continue to be the laughingstock of North American pro sports.

I didn't say it would be a prospect, I said I thought we could do better than a 20th ranked prospect. So what you think, that been Austin Hansen.

Do you think Toro is better than a 20th ranked prospect? I guess he is to experienced to be regarded a prospect in their system.

I don't know, I was asking you. Austin Hansen is the Astros 20th ranked prospect, would you have rather traded for him?

Looked at about 8 mlb ready guys from 10-20 and they are all dogshit.

I don't know what his overall ranking was, but i believe Toro was as high as a #3 prospect in the Astros org. All the same, you don't give up a key player when the team is making a playoff push. That's completely asinine.

This.

Prediction: DiPukeph will claim that "something bigger" fell through by this weekend when the deadline has passed thus trying to cover for the fact that this is about saving money.
Hey Jerry and more importantly ownership: I'm not fucking buying.
