Perhaps it's time for the Mariners to seek reunions with free agents Taijuan Walker, James Paxton, Brad Miller, Shin-Soo Choo and/or Oliver Perez.

Or not.

Ozuna back to the Braves. After not acquiring Soria I'm convinced all the Mariners will be doing is dumpster diving for minor league contracts. They have a plan and are sticking to it. Even in a generous MLB free agent offseason, they're not gonna open their pocketbooks.

I am starting to think that John Stanton is the worst thing to happen to this org. since George Argyros. Stock market is up almost 50% the past year and these clowns are pretending they are broke.

Pitching staff, heck it's more than the entire rosters of three other MLB teams, interesting Mets actually offered more money over three seasons

I'd much rather pitch in LA... buy a sick ass house in Malibu... play for a God squad... than make a few more million and play for the Godforsaken Mets.

I have been to both places many times and totally agree.

M's rumor page is about the Wong rumor from almost two weeks ago. Wong signed almost a week ago. This is like a sick joke of an off season.

I have lived in all 4 major west coast cities, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, and San Diego..... Miami, Washington DC, and New York on the east coast, Chicago and Dallas in the center... Winters are brutal in Chicago, Summers are brutal in Dallas, Cost of Living, highway congestion, racial unrest and Politics make Seattle, San Francisco,New York, D.C., and LA. horrible. If I were a player, I'd go to San Diego or Miami...... no question and either live in Coronado enjoying the seafood and Mexican cusine or even better live in a houseboat in South Beach or Coconut Grove and enjoy the low taxes, stone crab and Cuban cusine. Year round, it's about as good as it gets in the USA.. At least you can spend time off on a boat without a mask... Anywhere else you are sweating in the summer or freezing your ass in the winter..

A couple of weeks ago I mockingly suggested that JD was going to get unchained and bring back Gamel and Chisek. Now I' m afraid it could actually happen.

At least that would be doing something.....the owners just Refuse to win

I don't know if he is worth $85M for two years but I have liked the guy since I first saw this vid 9 years ago. Love the song too and Brendan Ryan's comments are hilarious.

That long toss is just incredible. Meanwhile, the A’s not shy about plugging the hole left by Semien...

At this point I wouldn't even mind a bad trade just to have something to discuss. LOL
