Mariners need Story now. We need another big impact infield bat. Wondering if Mariners are close on story. Gotta be wondering why they got Seager and not story.
No. Every year Story's road OPS is in the lower .700s, he won't hit in a Mariner uniform. Sign Bryant to play third, make Frazier the second baseman, and expect France to jump to the next level which I think he will.

But whatever we do, I hope we're not pinning our hopes on Toro.

Story Frickin sucks away from Coors field. He will struggle to have a .700 OPS if he plays for the M's. We don't want Story!

Michael Conforto would be awesome too.

So despite his strikeouts we would want Baez. Heard we are hard for him. Baez would be a good pickup. I hope. Rangers though dangerous 1-2 punch still don't have pitching so they will be scoring a ton more runs but we will out pitch them hopefully.

Why on earth do people like Trevor Story.

Red flags:

1. Huge Coors split differential.
2. Career 3:1 K:BB ratio
3. K's 160+ times over 162 games yearly
4. OPS+ only in the 120's in years where he's had .900+ OPS's
5. Arm issues mean he may not be able to stay on left side of the infield

Limited Ab's but Conforto at Safeco has a .286/333/714 slash line. He is a Seattle guy so probably as likely as anyone to want to come here.

Baez would be a worse pickup than Story. C'mon Seth.

The guy has a 9:1 K/BB ratio. 9:1!!!!!!

He has a career .307 OBP.

No. Fkn. Thank. You.

The Rangers are scarry now. If they sign Kyle for 3rd Base he kills it in Texas.

I prefer Bryant. He can play the Outfield too.

Big whoop. Is Kyle going to magically learn to not swing out of his ass against sweeping breaking pitches and drive the ball to left field?
