Trade!!!!

Just heard Goldsmith saying Dipoto said Sheffield and Dunn will be up this year.

We got a nice haul from the Nats for not giving up much imo...

Two super solid lefties. That Fletcher kid has put up some numbers thus far. The other kid was their #15 overall prospect and throws mid 90's from the left side.

The Leake trade was a little weak... only $6 million in salary relief... but hey, who cares.

Agree and I like the Leake prospect way better than the Bruce prospect and even the EE prospect.

Then has been pretty dang good so far this year. I think he will be a good pickup.

I would expect Sheffield to start as early as this week. Dunn probably comes up in September, and may start next season in Tacoma.

DFA’d by Atlanta to make room for Greene and Melancon.

I’m wondering if Jerry revisits him in a low risk acquisition.

Bring him back!!!

JD doesn't have much affinity for Jack's guys whether they are managers (Lloyd), players (Trumbo) or fat prospects (Gohara)

That's about 12x what they'll be paying one of the kids who need MLB experience.

The fact that we're talking about how much Leake has "been worth" is another stupid concept the saber dorks introduced.

If the Mariners didnt make the playoffs every dollar they spent was wasted. Leake wasnt "worth" any millions to us because nothing came of it.

If we have lottery tickets that didnt win, we don't calculate their value to us any longer based on what could've been.

Question is, will it be rushig any of these kids to pitch them next year. I think the are a few that will probably be ready, but most are probably mid 2020 or later.

Now it does give opportunities to Chrismat, McGaughan, Miesewicz, but they are all pretty fringy. Gilbert, Dunn, Sanchez are all a few years away. Sheffield probably sold have taken Milones spot in the rotation to start next season

Gilbert and Dunn are not a few years away. They will both be in the bigs at some point next season.

I don't think either should be starting in Seattle before midseason next year though. Maybe Dunn a little earlier, but neither will in Seattle in April next year. Thing is, will either be ready to come to Seattle and start every 5 days for the rest of the season. By April 2021 they should both be firmly entrenched in the rotation though.

Oh yeah I was thinking it was another position player for some reason.

Yup and good to get him back. Right that wrong. Hopefully Dipoto seizes the opportunity to get Gohara back. If only we could get Neidert back too

I agree. Next season mid season is 11 months away and even April 2021 is only 20 months away. Neither qualify as a "few" years away.

Damn good to see the forum off life support tonight!
