Must win.

 

[651akathepaul]

What type of wood is Ackley's bat made out of, you think?

My guess is ash, because that dude is on fire!

 

[Sinner]

Cory Hart tho! 

 

EDIT 

Welcome to the big leagues, pal! 

 

[DsLee]

Could Miller+Franklin end up being a SS+2B combo, along with a relief pitcher, that could seem desirable for some teams come closer to deadline?

With Hart coming back, Morales back, and CT called up I'm like "hey! Right handed bats!"

Would be nice to acquire an OF with decent power that's a righty

MLB Trade Rumors...

Though he constitutes a “backup plan” for the club, the Mariners have real interest in Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, tweets Passan. Seattle envisions shifting Kemp to the DH role eventually.

Chris Taylor, our savior...


Until we hate him

 

[DsLee]

The Rodney ride...

 

[booradley]

James Jones is struggling.

I have to stop watching this team on Sundays

Is Zobrist/Price the inital plan? Figured they were off the table

I rather have Kemp as plan A

Maybe we don't want Kemp. Either way, this team has so many holes, I doubt one more move will lock up a playoff spot.

 

[651akathepaul]

It's too late. It's all too late.

 

[elpablo21]

At least Pax seems ready to come back

 

[finnns2003]

at the Mariners actually living up to stereotypes of crumbling like every year. It's sad.

Team needs new ownership in the worst way. Lineup has .200 hitters everywhere

Makes him sound incompetent.

This sucks

Geez, that's not a good look for Z.

 

[elpablo21]

Rosenthal said M's are inquiring about Lester

 

[booradley]

Jack Z will enquire about Lester, Red Sox will listen, both sides will agree on prospects, cash, etc. Red Sox will fax over paper work, Jack Z will be like "Nah, we never had an agreement".

 

[a55a5in11]

I really think this team in one trade for a hitter away. But then I'm the only one who still thinks Ackley is a good player

Ackley
Cano
Morales
Seager
?
Saunders

I dont know whether to laugh or cry

If only Condor could stay on the damn field

Also Matt Kemp might not be the star he once was. But he still is hitting 280 and has right handed power also is 29 years young.

 

[DsLee]

I understand the argument against getting Kemp, but dude is hitting .270ish despite not having Spring Training, playing in a situation where he's constantly looking over his shoulder and worried about being benched as well as doing the whole comeback from major injury thing.

As a tired M's fan, I just want to be able to be confident in the decision-makers of the organization and believe their decisions are mostly based on winning.
