We're all counting on Woo, Bryan. 7/30 GT #109

[Sibelius Hindemith]

So we trade Suarez away with multiple years left on his contract for Seby Zavala and Carlos Vargas, then a year and a half later trade away 3 prospects that each probably have more value than those two combined in order to get him back for two months.

Oh to be a Mariners fan...

[Seattle or Bust]

Now 4 games over.

I don't know what they need to do to light a fire under their asses... hopefully Geno helps.

But they just got outplayed and outworked by one of the shittier teams in baseball.

It's really just hard to envision that this team ever turns a corner.

[HawkandMariner88]

Sure could of used his bat tonight.

[Juliooooo]

I'm guessing Walter Ford and Teddy McGraw are the pitchers in the deal.

I like both those guys potential, but to give up lock and those 2, I can deal with that. I like it

Hunter Cranton is another guy that's pretty interesting. And there's Michael Morales too.

They gave up 5 guys? Not super upset about morales. Not the highest ceiling. We still have our 3 best pitching prospects

[seattlefan-daBronx]

Tough loss.
Woo hasn't been sharp lately.
Offense came too late.
Puts us 5 back of Houston.

Deadline is not over.
Would love to get one more mid to high leverage arm.

You envisioned Geno, at age 34, posting 36 homer before August and being on pace for his best year since 2019... after he was a 103 OPS+/.714 OPS hitter in '23, leading the league in K's with 214?

Yeah... he's been one of the best hitters in baseball and reinvigorated his career...

I don't really get this talking point.

Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos are the pitchers in the deal.

The deal is a fleece by the M's of epic proportions compared to what Arizona was reportedly after.

Great trade for the M's.

It's close to what I predicted last week. I said a fringe top-10 prospect and a couple guys 15-30. Was pretty much exactly that.

[Sibelius Hindemith]

They seem to be back in the mode of only being able to score off of home runs. No ability (or desire) to play small ball.

[Millikin]

Obviously Geno will improve the lineup. And if he played today maybe the Mariners get one more homerun during the game and it's tied, at least.
But... If you hated this game where the only way the Mariners could score was by scattering a few homeruns, I think this is what we'll keep getting. He's a hr/k guy that will be frustrating as hell 78% of the time.
I don't think there was any better option out there (why they need to do this shit in the offseason ffs), but I think we just added another boom or bust Mariner hitter.

It's too bad JP started so hot, because what we really need is a legit leadoff hitter. But we're stuck with him again.

That’s so much better than ford and McGraw
