Never like Baker to be honest. But this further proves my disdain for Jack Z, and just about everyone else in that FO.
 
Oh yeah..Never commented on that article. :smh:

Do not like Jack Z anymore. Was lukewarm, but now I dislike strongly. The entire ownership/front office needs a complete overhaul.
 
If this haul can get pulled off regarding other trades/signings

I'll forgive him. (If it works out after of course)


Some tweets in regards to the Jack Z slander.

An asst GM that doesn't care for Jack a whole lot: "Blengino? Who cares what that guy says or thinks? What a joke."

Same AGM: "I don't think they have a clue over there. You know I see that. I tell u all the time. But this is bleep. Complete bleep bleep"

Dirt just getting thrown everywhere
 
Very true, Pabs. I probably shouldn't divulge myself so wholeheartedly into that opinion after one article. It just seemed sooo believable. I don't know. Bottom line for us fans is winning though. They got frickin' Cano and are going after other big fish so who knows?
 
I mean the track record leaves none of us much of a choice but to believe it..there is very little reason to doubt it...dont care how bitter these guys may be (including Geoff) we know the truth isnt that far off in any stretch

That info needed to be dropped but I still dont like the timing of it. Jack for his image and job sake can change all that these next few weeks...so we'll see what happens
 
:wow: :lol:

WOW. Everything I suspected is true. There's too many chiefs in that front office. And there's not enough competence. Wow, Geoff (who I can't stand) really laid it out with this dynamite piece.
 
You've got to be #$%*ing me.

By mid-day Friday, Seattle had heard that some team bid nine years and $225 million for Robinson Cano, so the Mariners upped their bid to $240 million and 10 years before apparently realizing the initial bid had come from themselves, too.

Statement from Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik

Mariners Statement from GM Jack Zduriencik:

Over the years, we have chosen to take the high road in talking about former Mariners personnel. It hasn’t always been easy but we always felt it was important to do so, not just for the club but also for the individual.  And in every case, it proved to be the right way to handle things. However, we believe the comments made by former members of our organization that appeared in the Sunday Seattle Times require a brief response.
Eric Wedge, our former manager, criticized our organization, accusing Howard Lincoln, chuck Armstrong and me of meddling.

Everyone in our organization, including Howard and Chuck, is focused on putting a championship team on the field.  We all care very deeply about this team, just like the fans do.  We all see when the team is playing well, and when it isn’t.

I’ve worked for several Major League organizations. Our upper management has suggestions and asks questions, just like CEOs and presidents in other organization do, all to be helpful and contribute to the goal of winning.  We all want to win as soon as possible.

When there are areas that need improvement, it’s my job to ask questions, suggest ideas and give direction to the field staff. When our upper management has questions or suggestions, it’s my job to respond to them.  I don’t believe meddling is a fair portrayal.

One good example is the issue of the Mariners doing extra work last September. That suggestion was mine. Everyone in the baseball department thought this would be a good teaching time to help us improve our fundamentals with a young team, and help set the tone for spring training.

Howard, Chuck, Eric and I met every five to six weeks the past couple of seasons to make sure we were all on the same page.  Never once did Eric complain about our communications during those meetings. In fact, we all agreed that this was a good time to offer and share ideas.

Eric approached me numerous times throughout the year expressing his desire for a long-term contract. Even the day before he quit, Eric called a meeting with me and demanded a contract extension.

I can also say that our current statistical analysis group is doing excellent work. Our dedicated staff and the tools they are using are a key component in our decision making process, and are light years ahead of where we have been. I am engaged with their work on a daily basis and very excited in the improvements made.

We have never deviated from our rebuilding plan. We have stayed the course, and we now have a talented group of young players. We are hard at work looking into every option to add to this core group, as we said we would, and we are looking forward to 2014 and beyond.

News coming that the M's aren't willing to let go of Walker OR Paxton for Price, which I agree with. I don't like the offer to Nelson Cruz, can we please just make a reasonable trade for Kemp already?

Instead of Walker it's rumored they're shopping Zunino instead. Not sure how I feel about that.
 
Not sure about letting go of Zunino either, he probably wouldn't mind being back in Florida though.

It would sting a bit seeing him high five Longoria and Will Meyers after scoring runs...

Edit:
Possible reunion for Ackley and Ryan in the Bronx?
Yanks, Mets, and Padres interested in Ackley..

texiera? Only player on that team i can think is even worth it
 
You guys wanna win but don't wanna give up a single one of these prospects to get any of these big time players. Well when the hell are all these young guys going to be good enough to make the Mariners a winning team?
 
^^^
Honestly, in regards to prospects, Taijuan and Zunino are the only two I'd truly have to be hesitant about.
