EE trade market

What's even worse about the Gordon trade was that the Marlins turned around and traded Yellich, Stanton and Ozuna.

We needed an OF and somehow out of those 4 guys we got the second baseman.

This is a great post, might be a tad too simplistic but literally is like a parody of the Mariners day to day.

Well, we had no farm system at the time. It was Kyle Lewis and Nick Niedert, and we see what Niedert brought back. It's laughable to think Ms could have gotten any of the other guys.

We couldnt gave gotten them, that's true. We just shouldn't gave gotten Dee either.

But on the bright side, not only did we get the Marlins' fourth best OF but we also got their fifth best OF in Ichiro. Quantity over quality!

Exactly why I said simplistic because our dynamic was way different last season but it does describe us to a tee in some ways.

Bowden:

Tampa Bay Rays
Trade partner: Seattle Mariners
Edwin Encarnación is having another banner year as the designated hitter for the Seattle Mariners, slashing .241/.356/.531 with 21 home runs, 49 runs batted in resulting in an OPS+ of 141 and a WAR of 2.0. The problem for the Mariners is that most of the American League’s contending teams don’t need a DH. The Yankees will have Giancarlo Stanton, once he returns from injury; the Red Sox have J.D. Martinez; the Twins have Nelson Cruz and the Astros have both Tyler White and rookie Yordan Álvarez. However, there is one perfect fit: the Rays. The Rays are ninth in the league in both runs scored and homers, and Encarnación would boost their offense.

The Mariners are rebuilding, and perhaps a trade for minor-league outfielder Jesús Sánchez would get a deal done. Sánchez, 21, is playing at Double-A Montgomery and slashing .302/.361/.460 with 10 doubles, eight home runs and 42 runs batted in. The Rays certainly have enough outfield depth at the major- and minor-league levels to make a deal of this magnitude. They would also control Encarnación through 2020, or have the option of taking his $20 million salary off the books with a $5 million buyout at season’s end.

was reading somewhere it could make sense for a team to pick up the option next season

Its a 1 year 15 million dollar deal essentially. I think he may be worth that.

Definitely. Cruz sure was worth it at EE's age.

Here's something I can't work out, why are we extending his deal? Surely he is classic trade bait?

What do you mean? Ms aren't extending anyone's deal. His original contract had the team option for 2020 with a 5 million dollar buyout
