There's no longer any room for him on the team
No there's not. But if the youngsters don't perform or there's an injury. You never know.
The Met's who are predicted to win more games than we are would also have to suck and be sellers at the deadline. Not sure why you think that is going to happen.

I don't think it's going to happen. I also didn't think Geno would ever be a Mariner again after we traded him to the Daimondbacks. But I do know that the M's actively pursued Polanco only to be outbid by the Mets. And furthermore, we've all seen New York spend stupid money on rosters and didn't do jack. Chemistry plays a big part of roster construction. You and I both know that. Predictions are all bullshit anyways. Might as well crown the Dodgers World Champs for the rest of the century if we went off of predictions. Lol :lol: I can see a world where the Mets still suck and are looking to dump salary because they aren't in the playoff hunt.

Personally, I don't think we live in that world.

Looks like a great team to me. They added several guys that would've stood out as our best addition if we'd gotten them.

What I'm curious about are the Braves, they are projected to win that division, what moves did they make

Dumped Kelenic. :lol:

It is crazy because they only won 76 games last season. Expected to improve by 15 games. I know they were hurt last season but still. I don't know of any moves they made.

Exactly. That team is not going to be selling at the deadline.

Mariner PBO Jerry Dipoto and general manager Justin Hollander reportedly completed the Brendan Donovan trade in the Washington State Capitol while the Legislature honored the team:

They lost some pieces as well. They aren't blowing the team up because of a disappointing season. They will continue to reload. That's the deal with making Juan Soto types of additions. Your paying an astronomic amount of money for a limited number of prime seasons. You are not wasting them busting your team up
