July 1, 2025Jul 1 The trading deadline is coming up so I thought it was time to post some rumors I'm hearing. The Mariners want Vargas and the Houston wants Benintendi.
July 1, 2025Jul 1 They’re better off trading for Tauchman. Sox would definitely have to eat cash in a Beni deal, especially since they’re being budget conscious. Edited July 1, 2025Jul 1 by Bob Sacamano

If the Mariners want to overpay for Vargas let them. He's probably JAG. Decent starter, nothing more. I'm not convinced he can play a MLB 3B and that's a problem.

July 1, 2025Jul 1 Hope Houser keeps throwing well. I think it’s possible he can potentially get you a Top 200-250 guy if he stays on this heater. What a win for Getz that would be.

Guessing we are selling off vets this time next year for prospects as well. It’ll be nice when we can stop recycling the prospect convo though I agree.

JR use to respond to my letters until I wrote him asking to be interviewed for the GM job. After that he wouldn't respond to my other letters about other things. It was a shame because I thought i had some good ideas about improving the fan experience and other matters. I've been a season ticket holder for 35 years. You would think he would have the decency to at least respond to me.

I'm not convinced he can play a MLB 3B and that's a problem. I mean, no one's untouchable. Sure if they want to give up a real hitter like Emerson, Montes, or Celesten... Sure I guess. Otherwise? Why are we churning through guys with 5 years of control? You start doing that this rebuild is going to get it's own 125 year patch.

JR won't be doing anything.

He’s hardly better than Solano at 1B and sure as hell is worse than Williamson at 3B, rookie or not. It would be colossally stupid to trade a legit prospect for Vargas.

You keep saying there is going to be a lockout/strike in 2027 I don't see it happening. It would be another PR disaster for the sport. I think the only thing that will change will be the deferred payments and I would think that should be worked out. I read where the Dodgers have over $1 billion dollars in deferred payments. Teams do this to avoid the luxury tax.

I feel that, other side of me however sees we need 30+ WAR to even start to think about a division title and if someone wants to give us 150 cents on the dollar for an average regular we should probably consider it.

What would you consider 1.50 on the dollar? All prospects can fail, so wouldn't you have to get at least two viable guys? A bird in the hand and all that.
