**Seattle Mariners 2024 Season Thread ** | 6-8 | v. Cubs & Reds |

He's injury prone and has a lot of innings in that arm. I used to like him a lot, but I don't exactly think he makes a lot of sense for the M's.
 
Yeah, that'd be an easy pass on Peavy

. Him being sent here would make 0 sense, imo. Adding a starter would be nice but not for what the Sox would be looking for.

Jason Churchill of prospects insider was hinting that Paxton could be next for a call up. He's still one of the top 5 pitchers in the organization easily and has seemed to found his groove. It's going to be hard to keep him down with another quality start or two.

Team might as well stay put, doesnt seem like they can get anybody that would make an impactful change on the team.

And anybody worth something that could I'd rather keep anyways

Just hope the young bats keep progressing and some of the young guys get back to the bullpen from injury/regression (Capps, Pryor)
 
I do agree Im surprised Perez didnt get moved

Just doesnt seem like there wasnt anything worth it go for anyways

No Smoak in the lineup as well? probably means nothing

[h2]Trade deadline passes, Mariners do nothing[/h2]

Steven Bisig-US PRESSWIRE

Stay connected for news and updates

The trade deadline has just ended and the M's didn't find anything to their liking.

The trade deadline is a silly exercise. All day long I tracked the rumors, dinking around on Twitter. I made jokes, spit some snark, speculated, guessed, waited. Laughed at the Royals. Listened to the words "Bud Norris" in succession a thousand times. Being a fan makes us do stupid things, including an expectation that real rumors will leak from this front office, who has time and time again made moves with no warning at all.

Now it's over, and Mariners decided not to do a thing. Despite many rumors about Oliver Perez, Mike Morse, Joe Saunders and Tom Wilhelmsen, the Mariners stood their ground. I don't really think it's a statement that the M's are still planning to go for it in 2013, it's more likely they just didn't feel any of the offers were worth taking.

It's not a total shock. The Mariners had plenty to offer, but not very much to ask for in return. All the expiring contracts weren't likely to bring something of significant value back, and the Mariners chose to hold for now instead of sell for questionable returns. Bet on mentoring, a culture of winning, a happy clubhouse. Frustrating things that might exist, but we can't quantify. We can't quantify what goes on in the clubhouse. Maybe Oliver Perez puts a fun size Snickers on Nick Franklin's locker every day and Franklin can't play without it. Shrugs.

The season is still far from over, and perhaps it's better that the Mariners hold onto some of these chips until August, when they can attempt to complete some waiver trades. There's obvious risk in waiting to trade later and the returns are usually a lot worse, but perhaps somebody will get hurt and a pressing need will arise.

So there's no shiny new prospects to profile, no mistakes to lament, no second guessing to be done, and no praise to be heaped. There's only the probably slew of misguided assumptions about things we can't possibly know. There's no way to know what was on the table, who was available, and what fell through.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little surprised that at the very least Oliver Perez wasn't moved, given that he will likely price himself out of the Mariners future starting this offseason. But the Snickers.

The trading season isn't entirely over, but...exhale.

 Ehh I feel they could have got something for Perez. Sucks they're just gonna let him walk after the season, but if I'm Jack Z, I'd be hesitant making any type of trade. Morse, I can understand. He's fresh off the DL, hasn't played in forever, etc. Let him regain his form and get right and they might move him eventually.
