Who would've thought starting pitching would be a weakness of this team, but it was inevitable that injuries would hit these guys the way the sport has evolved with the emphasis on fastball velocity rather than deception and location. The window has closed.

Inevitable to you, inevitable to me, inevitable to everyone that has spent any time watching this game, but not to the guys in the Front Office!

Jerry makes 2.35 million this year.

It seems Hollander's salary isn't public? This is the best I can find.
Terms of the deal
Hollander received a new contract that included a pay increase, terms of which were undisclosed, per club policy.

Prior to joining the Mariners, Hollander spent the previous nine seasons in the Angels’ front office, and he interviewed with the Halos after the 2020 season for the GM job that eventually went to Perry Minasian.

“I really wasn't even sure whether I wanted to leave,” Hollander said. “But there are 30 of these jobs in the world, and so when someone wants to talk to you about one, you feel obligated to go through the process, and when it was all over, I think I felt mostly relieved. This is where I was most comfortable.”
Let's say he makes a million a year. For almost 3.5 million per year, they didn't understand that relying on the pitching to be what it was last year was a fucking fools errand? Seriously, sell the fucking team, fire the entire FO and start over....please.

So Jerry has made about $20M during his reign of terror the past decade. Makes me want to plan a murder suicide.

Except Kirby could be the best command pitcher ever
.Rob Friedman
@PitchingNinja
George Kirby is arguable the best command pitcher of all time. Yes, I'm including Greg Maddux.

George Kirby also throws absolute flames.

Well he's Curaçaoan and the language is called Papiamentu. That seems to lead to different spellings. Like in Tagalog, police is pulis, peso is piso.

When was the last time a Mariner batter was pissed off enough at their own failure that they did this...
