Maybe he is bluffing but this is the 54% philosophy in action.

How is it 54 percent in action?

Is he not wrong about the lineup being extremely well rounded right now? And what do you expect him to say? He's hyping up the rookie 3b, he's not going to come out and say "yeah, we really need to get better at 3b because Williamson is just not good enough"

Actions speak loudest. They are targeting 1b and 3b. That is everywhere. So stop criticizing his interviews and wait and see what happens.

I'd like to see them add a starter on a rental or 2026 FA. I think miller is cooked and we clearly need someone besides Evans. The offense looks legit. I'm not going to be mad if Geno comes back with little parted with (Morales or Peete and a few 20-30s tossed in?).

Also, if they close out Woo's brilliant outing vs NYY, they don't give up 2 runs on JPs error in Woo's start vs TEX, they get a proper strike 3 call in that 1st gm at San Fran and find a timely hit in either the recent KC game that was a 3-2 loss or in that 2-1 loss vs HOU back in APR, that's an easy 4 Ws that should've been and the record is 55-41 and 57.3 percent

If they don't land Geno it's about this biggest failure of all time.

AZ told teams he's available today. He needs to be an M by the end of this Astros series.

lol - that happens only if Dip allows himself to be bent over. If the AZ GM is smart - he takes the next 12-13 days to pit us/skanks/anyone who needs a 3B against each other to get the best package he can for him. It's not as though its a fire sale and whomever suggests a decent deal will get it done in the next day or so.

Geno is a good add but if this team wants to win they need more than that.

It depends on what being bent over means.

The Mariners have a billion prospects and just added more to the draft. Even if it's an overpay, I don't care.

Go for it.

You just described the season of every single team in the entire history of Major League Baseball.

that's the beauty of a 162 game season, you should end were you deserve to end up.

More? This team has 4 All-Stars. It's coming off a month in which it delivered the best offensive production in all of baseball and now the pitching is rounding into form. It's nice to be greedy but it's also a sin. I wouldn't complain about a Geno add on a cheap offer, or an SP add for a reasonable price, but I'd also be more than fine with standing pat. This team is hitting its stride and you don't need to mess with it. Plenty of reinforcements in the minors with Rivas, Taylor, Lao, Kowar and Locklear. Plus Robles nearing his return in about 5 weeks
